All applicants whose native language is not English and/or who submit a transcript from a country other than the U.S. must provide evidence of a TOEFL score of 550 (paper-based), 213 (computer-based), or 77 (internet-based). The TOEFL is not required if the applicant has a bachelor’s or higher degree from a regionally accredited U.S. college or university, or has successfully completed Saint Mary’s University’s English Language Academy certificate program.
Transcripts from countries other than the U.S. must be evaluated on a course-by-course basis by World Education Services (www.wes.org) and be deemed equivalent to accredited U.S. university standards. Students are responsible for having their transcripts evaluated, as well as the associated costs.

Adult students may feel hesitant in seeking a full degree or may just want to take a few courses for personal growth.
Applicants who wish to take up to six credits without enrolling in a degree or certificate program may apply for special student status. An applicant will be considered for admission as a special student when the following materials are received:
- Completed application form.
- Nonrefundable application fee.
- Official transcript of highest degree earned. An official transcript is one that is sent or carried to the university in an envelope sealed by the granting university. An applicant will not be admitted as a special student prior to the receipt of an official transcript.
More information on submitting official transcripts
The program director will review the requested course(s) and approve or deny the request. The applicant will be notified of the program director’s decision.
All special student registrations must be completed at least one week in advance of the beginning of the desired course. Special students may take up to six credits approved by a program director. If a special student wishes to take more than six credits, he or she needs the approval of the program director. Special students are admitted to courses on a space-available basis. Unless a special student notifies the University of his or her intention to continue, he or she will be withdrawn after completing six credits or after one semester of inactivity.
If a special student wishes to apply to a Saint Mary’s University program, he or she should notify admissions in writing of his or her intent to apply and submit the additional materials necessary. Credits earned and grades received as a special student may apply toward the degree with approval of the program director.
