International Students
Admission procedures for international
students are the same as those for applicants
from the United States, with the exception of
two additional requirements. Because instruction
is given in English, prospective students with
a native language other than English are required
to demonstrate proficiency in the English language.
The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL),
administered by the Educational Testing Service,
will be made part of the applicant’s file.
International students are also reminded that
in order to obtain their Certificate of Eligibility,
Form I-20, they must provide the financial aid
office with a valid affidavit of support, from
either personal funds, family funds, or funds
from another source (type/source specified). To
comply with this request, we ask that the applicant
complete the College Board International Student
Certification of Finances. This form is available
through the admissions office.
For information on dates and
locations for the test, write:

Does WCCC welcome international
students?
Absolutely!
Who qualifies as an "international
student?
Students not holding American citizenship.
What materials must international
applicants submit?
Admissions policies and procedures
are the same as for regular first-year applicants,
with a few exceptions:
- International students should
complete the International Student Supplement,
downloadable here or available from the Admissions
Office;
- Students whose first language
is not English must submit official results
of the Test of English as a Foreign Language
by the application deadlines;
- If you are proficient in
English and find it impossible to take the TOEFL,
you must submit one or more of the following:
The English Language Proficiency Test (ELPT),
The Michigan English Language Assessment Battery
(MELAB) and recommendations from teachers who
taught you English who can comment on your ability
to speak and write;
- An official transcript of
academic work in the language in which it was
prepared and a certified translation into English
of the transcript.
Does WCCC offer financial
aid to international students?
International students can be considered
for WCCC funds, although international applicants
should be advised that competition for funding
is intense and funding is limited.
Communicating with WCCC
We encourage students to use a facsimile
machine when possible in requesting applications
and information about WCCC. (The Admissions Office
fax number is 207-454-1092).
We can respond via fax, although we can
not send entire applications through the
fax. Therefore, applications must be requested
no later than December 15.
