International Students

International Students are entitled to all student services and programs which they are eligible according to law and College definition. The College reserves the right to establish policies for selected groups of students if the policies are in the student’s and the institution’s best interest. Applicants will be carefully screened for academic excellence, English proficiency, adequate health, and financial self-sufficiency.

Since the presence of international students also entails responsibility for the College in meeting certain distinctive needs, adequate provision must be made for doing so. The college recognizes the responsibility by setting entrance and exit standards for its non-native English speakers that consider the minimum language skills necessary for success in academic work as well as the minimum standards that a diploma from the College represents.

In order for the international students to achieve their educational objectives, certain academic services are essential; the College provides facilities and staff commensurate with those needs. Moreover, the College recognizes that English language proficiency and not citizenship or immigration status alone is a key criterion in determining the meeting of requirements and needs of students for whom English is a second language.
