Before enrollment, the students should provide the following documents:
Admission to AUPPHS-FA requires prospective students to complete an interview, an English Placement Test, and a Math Placement Test. While an IELTS/TOEFL score may fulfill the English testing requirement (see in Question 3), the English Placement Test is designed to gauge students’ abilities in listening, reading, speaking, and writing. These placement evaluations, along with the Math test and personal interview, are crucial to ensuring students’ academic readiness and success at AUPPHS-FA.
Students are exempt from the English Placement Test if their TOEFL/IELTS scores match the following:
It’s recommended that applicants send in their previous school report cards/official transcript before scheduling to take the English Placement exam. Once these documents are reviewed, an AUPPHS-FA admissions officer will contact you to arrange a convenient time for the interview and English Placement Test. The exam will typically be scheduled during working hours (8am-5pm, Monday thru Friday).
If a student transfers in the middle of the school year, they need to present their official transcripts from their previous school. AUPPHS-FA will evaluate those reports to determine if the student should transfer during the year or wait until the next school year. If a transfer student is missing credits required by AUPPHS-FA, we will let them know.
