3. CERTIFICATE OF FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Applicants must submit financial documents (bank statement and/or letter from a sponsor), which certify the student’s ability to meet the costs of the first year of study. Proof of financial ability must be on file before the Admissions office can issue the necessary immigration document for student (and family members, if applicable).

4. PROOF OF ENGLISH COMPETENCY
If English is not your native language, part of the admission requirement is that you provide proof of your ability to function within the setting of English-only classes. All international students must submit an acceptable score on one of our approved exams. See the application checklist for details on accepted exams and scores.

5. OFFICIAL SCHOOL RECORDS, DEGREE(S) AWARDED AND TRANSLATIONS
Applicants must submit official secondary school records, including proof of graduation. Academic records submitted must be official or certified copies of transcripts, listing all courses taken, grades (marks) received, and degree statements, if applicable.

When an official record from the school is not available in English, an English translation must be submitted. Accepted translation services include translations made by the school attended, Ministry of Education, a sponsoring agency, embassy, or by professional translators.

6. PROOF OF HEALTH INSURANCE
Upon arrival at NNMC, international students must bring proof of current major medical insurance, with an expiration date of not less than one year from the date of issue. Failure to present such proof to the NNMC PDSO will result in being denied enrollment for classes.
