International Students

All applicants, including international applicants, are expected to utilize the application procedures designated for their particular program of interest. However, international applicants must complete the following additional requirements:

You must contact ETS to have your official TOEFL scores released to UTHSC. Once you do, ETS electronically sends your scores directly to UTHSC. Paper copies are not accepted. 

To submit your official TOEFL scores to UTHSC, go to http://www.ets.org/toefl and request your scores be sent to UTHSC using code #1850. It takes approximately 10-12 business days from the date you make the request to post to your application. 

Make sure that the name and date of birth on your application match that on your TOEFL exam; otherwise, your scores will not automatically post to your account. If you believe there may be a discrepancy, wait until ETS processes the scores, then contact customer service so they can manually connect the scores to your application.

    • Paper-based Exam: 550
