Services for International Students
Each college has an International Program office with services which include admission, college and cultural orientation, immigration and academic advising, social activities, trips, transcript evaluation for credit transfer, and housing referrals.

Admission Guidelines

• Students should apply through the college of their choice. Admission procedures and registration deadlines and schedules vary from college to college. Contact the individual college for specific information.
• Applicants must demonstrate adequate financial support to cover the period of study in order to meet visa requirements. International students pay the non-resident tuition rates.
• Applicants must be at least 16 years of age and have completed 10th grade at the time of enrollment.
• Application for admission by itself does not guarantee acceptance. Students must receive official notification of admission in order to enroll.
• Note: International students should begin the application process well in advance of the quarter for which admission is desired in order to process the application, make passport and visa arrangements, and prepare for departure.
