Given that English test centers are currently closed in some countries, candidates who have not already taken the test are allowed to apply to all rounds by submitting the TOEFL ITP (for candidates based in Mainland China) or the TOEFL iBT® Special Home Edition 

Step 1: Start your online application

The application form is to be filled in online. Create your account and you will receive an e-mail with your login and pin number. These are required each time you sign in so don’t lose them! You can fill in the application form at your ease and come back to it at any point.

Step 2: Upload supporting documents

Together with the online application form, you will need to provide official or authenticated copies of the following:

Academic transcripts	Of the last 3 years of high school
An enrollment certificate	Stating your expected graduation date + the diploma you will graduate with
High School Diploma	If already graduated
An English test score	You will need to provide one of the following English proficiency tests as part of your application form : TOEIC listening and reading: 850 (online version is accepted) TOEFL ITP and iBT: 90 (Special Home Edition is accepted)  IELTS Academic: 6.5 Cambridge (B2 First minimum, Advanced and Proficiency are of course accepted): 175 The English test is not required if the last 2 years of your academic curriculum are taught entirely in English. Tests that have been sat more than 2 years ago (at this application deadline) will not be accepted. It can take several months to prepare and register for an exam slot, so keep this in mind before starting your application as, without a test score, it will be incomplete.

Your CV	One page

2 academic reference letters, which are confidential	It is the applicant's responsibility to enter details of two referees as soon as possible, to allow them to send the online reference letter on time. Once you enter their details and save, a link is sent to them immediately to fill out the letter online. A file is considered complete if at least one of the two referees fill in the recommandation form.

Please note that each section of the online application must be filled in conscientiously. Candidates who fail to upload all the required documents by the stated deadlines will not be considered. Make sure that all your documents are ready before you submit your application.

Step 3: Submit your online application

Once you have completed your online application and have attached all the supporting documents, the final step is to submit your online application.
