Longwood University International Admissions

Longwood University International Admissions manages recruitment, admission, and onboarding for international students seeking undergraduate and graduate study at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia. Its work centers on helping non-U.S. applicants navigate entry to a public university founded in 1839 that enrolls students in a residential liberal arts environment and offers more than 100 majors, minors, and concentrations. The office serves degree-seeking international students as well as applicants who need immigration documentation and guidance tied to enrollment. The unit’s admissions process includes review of academic records, proof of English proficiency, and financial documentation required for issuance of Form I-20 for the F-1 student visa process. Longwood sets published application deadlines for international applicants, including a fall term deadline of June 1 and a spring term deadline of November 1. The office also directs students to institutional support after admission, including orientation and campus resources that help students transition to study in the United States. International Admissions operates within a university structure that emphasizes undergraduate teaching and student engagement. Longwood’s campus is located in central Virginia, and the university identifies itself as one of the nation’s oldest public institutions. For international students, the office functions as the gateway to academic programs across the university while coordinating the practical requirements of cross-border enrollment, from application review to visa-related paperwork and arrival preparation. Its audience includes first-year and transfer applicants from outside the United States who want to study at a Virginia public university with a broad academic catalog and a campus-based student experience.
