International Students

Logan's International Admissions Coordinators help with your application and your move to the United States. We issue your I-20 and support your F-1 student visa process, then help you settle in by connecting you with student clubs and organizations and the wider Chesterfield and St. Louis communities.

If you live outside the United States or attended secondary school outside the United States:

1. 1Complete the online application.
2. 2Send transcripts for all of your secondary education to Logan.
3. 3Submit all official standardized test scores.

Applicants with coursework from a non-U.S. college or university must request an evaluation from one of these organizations:

• SpanTran — offers an expedited evaluation at a discounted rate for Logan students
• WES
• AES
• ECE

The evaluation must include a course-by-course review and U.S. GPA equivalency on a 4.0 scale, plus degree equivalency where applicable. Your admissions counselor may require the evaluation before you apply so we can confirm program qualification.

You may be required to demonstrate English proficiency with a TOEFL score of 500 or better on the paper-based exam, or 79 on the iBT.

• Statement of motivation
• Proof of financial resources, or a funding commitment covering at least 12 months of study
• Official transcripts, or agency evaluation, sent to the Office of Admissions

• Evidence of meeting all applicable legal requirements for U.S. study, submitted at least six months before your start trimester

Canadian assistance is arranged through your province or territory. Contact your provincial or territorial student aid office about eligibility and funding for your program. Once approved, sections of your assistance forms may need to be completed by Logan:

Limited on-campus employment is available. Depending on availability you can work up to 20 hours per week, earning between minimum wage and $14 per hour, paid every two weeks. Contact the Office of Financial Aid at (800) 782-3344 or FinancialAid@logan.edu.

Students on an I-20 are not permitted to work off campus, with the exception of approved Optional Practical Training. Working off campus without authorization jeopardizes your status.

OPT is available before and after graduation once you have been enrolled full time in the United States for nine months in F-1 status, and it must relate directly to your major field of study.

• Pre-graduation: limited to 20 hours per week when school is in session, full time during vacation periods
• Post-graduation: full time, with the application made prior to graduation

Only 12 months of OPT may be granted during your entire course of study at each degree level, so plan carefully with the Office of Admissions.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services authorization for employment based on unforeseen severe economic hardship is difficult to obtain and requires detailed documentation. Contact the Office of Admissions for guidance.

The Office of Student Affairs can walk you through health insurance options. International insurance such as Canada's OHIP will not fully cover you in the United States, so we suggest supplemental basic accident insurance. Logan also provides basic health care services to students.

To be issued a Federal Form I-20, you must:

• Be accepted into Logan's Doctor of Chiropractic program
• Submit the Financial Obligation Document provided by Admissions, ideally about two months before your anticipated start date
• Provide any additional documentation requested by Logan's Designated School Official
• Pay the SEVIS fee and bring your receipt to the border

Canadian citizens do not need a visa from a consulate but will process the Federal I-20 at the border.

Planning to work on campus? See the Work Study Coordinator in Financial Aid for your authorization letter, then bring these to your Social Security Office interview:

• Valid I-20
• I-94 record
• Logan authorization letter
• Passport or birth certificate

Logan awards $20,000 in scholarships to incoming international students in the Doctor of Chiropractic program — $2,000 each trimester for 10 trimesters. The award renews each trimester through trimester 10 as long as you keep a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher. You may also apply for additional endowed scholarships each spring. Email Admissions@logan.edu to learn more, or see Scholarship Opportunities.

Representing countries from around the world, Logan's International Student Association helps international students settle into the Logan community and build lasting professional friendships.
