Application Procedures

1	Request an application form from the Admissions Office of the University of St. Martin.
2	Complete the forms and submit them to the Admissions Office. Be sure to fill out the form accurately, completely and legibly, and sign your name on the appropriate line. There is an application fee of $25.00 to process your application and review your records. This fee is non-refundable. The application must be received by June 15 in the same year preceding an August admission, or by November 15 for an admission in January of the subsequent year. Any application received after theses dates will be considered a "late application", and the non-refundable application fee will be $40.00 ($25.00 application fee plus $15.00 late fee).
3	Submit all records of secondary school studies.
4	Either: a. Make plans to take the SAT I. Information about the SAT I can be obtained at the University or at the Federal Department of Education in St. Maarten. Or, b. If the SAT I is not taken, plans must be made to take the USM English and Mathematics Placement Test (see section on Academic Degree Programs).

NOTE: All documents must be original or certified true copies. Unofficial photocopies cannot be accepted. If the original documents are not in English or Dutch you must submit a certified translation by an official translator.

Upon receiving notice of official acceptance, you will be required to forward to the university a tuition deposit of US$100.00. This deposit is credited to your initial billing and is non-refundable.

Re-Admission
Any student who has been absent from the University of St. Martin for one full year or more, must apply for re-admission. The student must submit application form, accompanied by a non-refundable application fee of $25. Transcripts of any course work completed at another college must also be submitted. If the decision is favorable, the applicant will be requested to submit a tuition deposit of $100.00.

Academic Amnesty
Some students fail in their initial attempt to pursue college level work. Academic deficiencies accumulate so that it would be impossible for some students to ever complete the minimum standards required. In instances where a student has interrupted college work at the University of St Martin for an academic year or more and can upon re-admission demonstrate that he/she can perform for a sustained period at better than average level, amnesty can be granted for the poor record acquired in earlier years. A degree will be awarded on the basis of the level of achievement evidenced after re-admission. Inquiries regarding academic amnesty should be made directly to the Dean of Academic Affairs.
