Applicants,
both freshman and transfer, whose native language is not English are required to
submit a score of at least 500 on the pencil and paper Test of English as a
Foreign Language (TOEFL) or 173 on the computer version. Information regarding
this test may be obtained by writing to TOEFL, Educational Testing Service,
P.O. Box 6155, Princeton, NJ, USA 08541-6155, (Fax) 609-279-9146, (Phone)
609-921-9000, or (Web)

The
following materials must be in the office of the International Student Advisor
at least 60 days before the beginning of the semester in which admission is
desired:
- Application for admission.
- Complete, official scholastic records translated into English. If
these are being submitted from a high school, a graduation date must be
listed on the transcript. Information regarding translation services is
included with this packet of information.
- Affidavit-of-support completed by the sponsor of the student with
supporting bank statements.
- TOEFL scores or results of a personal interview with the
foreign student advisor and scores on any entrance tests which may be required
by the college.
- Official college transcripts if student is applying for transfer
from another college or university within the United States.
Students
applying for transfer from institutions within the United States must submit an
international student transfer form completed by their current international
student advisor before they may be considered for transfer, and they must be
eligible for immediate re-admission to that institution.
All required information must be submitted
before an I-20 document will be issued to a prospective student, and the student
must obtain Immigration Service approval before being allowed to enroll in
classes.
Expenses
are estimated on a 9 month basis, and total costs for room, food, books, etc.,
are estimated at $9,606.00. Summer school attendance is optional for the
student. It can be very difficult for an international student to secure a room
on campus unless the application for housing is submitted with the deposit well
ahead of the desired enrollment semester. If you plan to live on campus, you
must send in your deposit for housing at least six months prior to your planned
arrival date. You should be aware that
our housing facilities are not open between semesters or during official school
holidays, and you will have to make arrangements for other housing during those
times. Hotel facilities are NOT available in the Wesson area where our campus
housing if offered, nor is public transportation available.
Education
in the United States is expensive, and it is seldom true that one can earn his
way or obtain financial support upon arrival. Due to strict Immigration
regulations concerning employment, you may not expect to work to earn any part
of your expenses. And, as a general rule, you must be in the United States for
at least one year before you may petition Immigration for permission to work.
Note that Copiah-Lincoln Community College does not offer financial aid or
scholarships to international students and does not assume financial
responsibility for its students. Fees are due at the time of registration, and
no deferred payments are allowed.
Students are required to purchase health and repatriation insurance upon arrival
on the campus.
