- Send a copy of your academic transcript from all post-secondary schools (colleges or universities) attended. An official copy of your transcript must be submitted within the first month of enrollment.
Transcripts in languages other than English must include a certified English translation, authentic verifying statements and signatures. Translation and evaluation services for non-English transcripts must be performed by a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services. Many of our students have used Josef Silny and Associates and World Education Services. Costs of translation services are the responsibility of the applicant.

- Complete the LaGrange College Financial Guarantee Statement. The Department of Homeland Security/United States Citizenship and Immigration Services requires all students to provide documentation that sufficient financial resources are available to meet a student’s prospective educational and living expenses while in the U.S. Therefore, LaGrange College requires a guarantee of financial resources from each applicant who expects to obtain or maintain Student (F-1) status.
- Once the Financial Guarantee Statement if completed, the college will begin the process for issuing the Certificate of Eligibility (the SEVIS I-20 for F-1 student status).
