International Students

An International Supplemental Admissions Form is required before an I-20 can be issued. The form can be found at International Admission Application Form [PDF].

The TOEFL is required for all students for whom English is not a first language. Click here for information about the TOEFL.

Once admitted, all students who are required to submit TOEFL scores are also required to take a brief diagnostic test, called the SPEAK test, to assess their oral communication skills. Please note that the SPEAK test can only be taken on campus, and will be administered at the beginning of your first semester at William and Mary. Information on the SPEAK test can be found at SPEAK Frequently Asked Questions [PDF].
