LU International Student Application Process
Below are steps to Apply
visit our campus
In your journey to becoming an official Blue Tiger we ordinarily would love to have you visit; however, in the midst of the current health pandemic we have determined that in-person exploration of the campus is less than ideal.
As an alternative we have developed a virtual tour, to allow you to experience the campus. You’ll get a glimpse of student facilities, the residential halls, important campus buildings and the library.

Send Immunization records
All students born after December 1956 who plan to attend classes on one of our campuses must submit proof of immunization compliance for measles, mumps, and rubella. Online students are exempt.
In addition to the immunization requirement, international students are required to have two screening tests for tuberculosis exposure once arriving to the country: A IGRA blood test and a chest X ray. These tests must be performed in the United States not more than six weeks before the start of classes. Tests performed outside of the United States cannot be accepted.
A copy of your immunization record (or your state’s immunization compliance form) can be submitted directly to the Lincoln University Health Center.
