Applicants who speak English as a second language are required to submit official exam results outlined in the section Applicants Whose First Language Is Not English. Official transcripts from any college or university outside the United States or Canada must be translated and evaluated, course-by-course, by an independent evaluation service. The service forwards the evaluated transcript to Bastyr University, at the applicant's request. There is a charge for this evaluation. Forms are available from the service directly or through the admissions office at Bastyr University.

Limited dormitory housing is available. Most students rent an apartment or house in nearby areas.

International students must enroll as full-time, degree-seeking students and comply with all related immigration policies for the F-1 student visa program.

International students who have attended other medical school programs and are requesting advanced standing status in Bastyr University's naturopathic medicine program should ask for additional information about advanced standing status from the admissions office. These students must meet advanced standing requirements for the program to which they are seeking admission.
