International Students
Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute is authorized by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to admit international students. This permission was granted on July 12, 1966, with authorization number WAS 2141562.
International students must meet admission requirements set forth by CCC&TI as well as requirements specified by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. In addition to the application, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), with a minimum acceptable score of 500 (paper) or 173 (computer-based), is required as evidence of adequate proficiency in English. The TOEFL scores must be no more than two years old at the time of application for admission. Students must request that an official high school transcript from an appropriate agency be sent directly to CCC&TI certifying the equivalency of a United States high school credential. All official high school transcripts must show a graduation date.
Transcripts of course work completed at a college or university located outside the United States must be accompanied by a certified English translation and a course-by-course evaluation. Transfer credit from foreign colleges or universities will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Course descriptions, a comprehensive course-by-course evaluation and/or a catalog-match evaluation may be required if transfer credit is being requested for certain courses.
Applicants must use one of the following official evaluation organizations to have their transcripts officially evaluated and sent directly to CCC&TI.
