First Call for Spring Semester with LeTourneau University - Reg

Dear LETU partners,

We are excited at the possibility of hosting your students in the Spring 2025 semester.  This is the time to start the process! As you know the visa process is quite time consuming.

In order to admit your students to LeTourneau for Spring 2025 and create your students’ I-20s, please have your students complete and submit the following documentation:

Please have the chosen exchange students fill out the application form here:

https://www.letu.edu/global-initiatives/exchange-checklist.html

Two Academic Reference Forms from 2 different university professors or advisors (attached)

Official college transcripts (minimum GPA of 2.5)

Statement or Essay about why you want to come to LETU

Official English certificate (Sample attached)

Financial Support Verification (a bank statement or letter from a bank or employer showing at least $8,500 as bank balance)

Color copy of passport page

Many program coordinators will collect these documents and send them all together in one packet by email.

Students will need to provide proof of finances to cover $8,500 for one semester (5 months). This is the amount that the visa officer will use when considering whether or not students can actually afford to come and study at our university.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.  We look forward to hosting your students!

Our partners also usually start mapping classes based on our Spring 2025 course listing.  Please know that students may take up to 17 credits without any tuition charge.  They may take online classes as long as they take a minimum of 9 credits on campus (Offline) and a minimum of 12 credits overall. When our Spring 2025 course listing becomes available in October, the course list may be finalized. Please find here our course offerings:  https://www.letu.edu/academics/course-schedules/index.htmlour  - our on campus and online Spring 2024 class listing.  This semester course offerings will be similar to the Spring 2025 offerings.

Also, LeTourneau is very generous in that it allows students to take up to 17 credits per semester without charging anything extra.  Of course this is a very heavy load and students seldom take advantage of this, but this option does exist.

We would like their updated transcripts when available, especially for the current semester.  

You can check our course catalog for a description of each course and if the students meet the prerequisites:

The value of credits is the last digit in the course number.

They need to take at least 12 credits - 3 of these credits can be online courses.  Here is a link to our online courses:
