Humboldt International University (HIU) requires a High School diploma, domestic or international, or the equivalent General Education Diploma (GED) for admissions. Documented proof of a high school graduation or its equivalent must include an official high school transcript, of a GED high school transcript from the office of the Registrar of the school, and/or written certification by a cognizant authority for home-schooled students.
If the previous educational institution does not provide a transcript, the student must send their original copy with an Apostille government stamp as proof. A copy will be made by the admissions staff and the original will be sent back to the potential student at their expense.
According to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, no person in the United States shall, based on sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal Financial Assistance. Qualified applicants are accepted regardless of their race, color, sex, religious beliefs, physical handicap, or national origin.
To apply for admissions, the prospective applicant must make an appointment to meet (online or in person) with a University’s representative who will provide all the necessary information related to the University and the program of study under consideration.
APPLICANTS WHO WISH TO ENROLL MUST:
Upon completion of the requirements the applicant must sign an Enrollment Agreement in the desired program. Applicants are informed of their acceptance within three (3) business days after all required information is received and qualifications evaluated. The requirements documents need to be sent to the admissions office or by email to: admissions@humboldtiu.com.
Applicants whose native language is not English but desires to take a degree program in English must demonstrate college-level proficiency in English through one of the following methods:
Candidates who do not successfully demonstrate English Proficiency through one of these methods may not be considered for enrollment. Candidates may enroll in a remedial English course offered by the University. If they pass, then they can enroll in their desired program.
Humboldt International University (HIU) offers degree programs is English or Spanish. If a candidate desires to take the Undergraduate degree (Associate and Bachelor) program in Spanish, they do not need to take the English Proficiency Test. They will have to follow all the Admissions procedures and sign the Enrollment Agreement.
Once the Enrollment Agreement is signed the student cannot switch from Spanish to English speaking programs. The student must follow the assigned Spanish track until its completion. If a student wished to change language track from Spanish to English or English to Spanish a new enrollment agreement must be signed and if they are moving to the English track, they would need to pass the English Proficiency Test before they can take another course.
Student identity verification is conducted during the admissions process to verify that the admitted student who participates in and completes coursework and assessments is the same student who is awarded credit. To accomplish this, applicants are required to provide government issued identification with their application. During the admissions process, a video interview is conducted with Admissions staff who compare the collected identification with the applicant being interviewed. This verification is documented as part of the student’s record. Following admission, students are provided unique login credentials as further assurance that the verified student is the same individual who completes coursework within the online classroom.
The University also assures that the admitted student is the same student who completes coursework through its proctoring process. Once during each course, students are subject to individualized proctoring with their instructor. Students are required to appear on video and respond to a series of subject-related questions presented by the instructor. Questions are selected that demonstrate familiarity with course subject material and passed assessments. During this session, the instructor compares the student in attendance with the identification information on file.
