Next Steps for International Students

JOIN THE CCC FAMILY: Adopting scholars from North Pole, Alaska to Auckland, New Zealand!

Students whose citizenship is in a country other than the Unites States are required to submit an International Student Data Form, along with the General Application for Admission at least 90-120 days prior to the start of the intended semester of enrollment.

Steps to Take

	Review admission requirements. More info... The student must have graduated from high school or earned an equivalent degree (GED). The student must be a regenerate believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. The student should have at least a 2.0 unweighted high school GPA. The student must have at least an 870 critical reading/math score on the SAT, or a composite score of 18 on the ACT. The student must have at least a 500 (paper copy) or 170 (computer version) on the TOEFL if they reside in a country where English is not their native language. The student must submit two satisfactory recommendations from a pastoral and academic source.
	Complete and submit your official application for admission and International Student Data Form at least 90-120 days in advance of start term. More info... The purpose of these forms is to verify the applicant's ability to meet expenses incurred while attending the College. Verification of support requires affidavits of support from each source.
	Once the above verification is accomplished for an accepted student, an I-20 form required for entrance into the United States will be issued. International students must consult their own embassies for visas and travel information to the United States.
	International students for whom English is a second language are required to provide a minimum score of 500 (paper based) or 173 (computer-based) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
	Submit two reference forms. More info... One reference must come from a member of the pastoral staff of your church and attest to your Christian testimony. The other reference should come from a high school teacher, counselor, or a college instructor and attest to your academic ability. Both references should be provided by persons outside of your own family.
	Submit an official transcript from your high school and each college you attended, current through the time of application. More info... Transcripts will be considered official only when sent directly from the institution to Clearwater via the address below. Final official transcripts must be submitted upon completion of course of study.
	If you have completed at least two full-time semesters of college work, an ACT or SAT score would not be required, but it could help with course placement. Please submit any SAT (CCC Code 5142) or ACT (CCC Code 0715) scores that you have.
	Explore Clearwater's extensive scholarship and grant-in-aid programs on the Financial Aid site.

I chose CCC because the atmosphere as a whole was super God-focused when I came to visit campus as a high school senior. In the short, two-day stay, I was impressed with how God was magnified. I am a custodial student worker in one of the men's dorms.
