INTERNATIONAL STUDENT APPLICATION DEADLINE:


Students who are citizens of countries other than the United States and who have completed their secondary education or its equivalent may be eligible for admission to the college. Certain educational, financial, and immigration documents are required, as well as proof of minimum proficiency in English. Students may apply for admission to the fall, spring, and summer semesters. Because of time required for evaluating educational records and processing immigration forms, these documents, along with the application form, must be submitted before the international student admission deadline. Applications that are not complete by the deadline will not be considered. Application deadlines for each semester are listed in the academic calendar and at the top of this page.
