Admissions Policy For International Students
Applicants who are residents of a non-English speaking country, or whose native language is not English, will demonstrate English language proficiency by submitting one of the following:
- TOEFL test results with a minimum score of 173/500. Students whose scores fall at the lower end of the test scale may be required to take an additional language development course through the college at their own expense.
- Documentation of graduation from an English-speaking high school.
- Documentation of achieving speaking, reading and writing fluency in an English language program.
International applicants will also submit the following documents before an admissions decision is rendered:
- Completed college application.
- Notarized high school and/or post-secondary transcript translated to English with a key to the grading system. Upon request, the college will mail a list of approved private companies that provide transcript translation and required notarization.
- Financial documentation including a statement of financial support for the cost of full attendance, estimated at six semesters, and a financial statement from a bank, both translated into English.
- Proof of medical insurance coverage.
Upon receipt of all required documents, applicants will be notified of their status by the Admissions Office. Applicants should file the application and all other documents at least 90 days in advance of the expected start date.
Accepted international students will participate in the Placement exam to determine placement into college level or development (basic skills) level courses in reading, math and English. This will be scheduled once the student has arrived in New Hampshire.
