International Admissions

International students should follow the process outlined for freshmen admissions if they have not previously attended college, or follow the process outlined for transfer admissions if they have previously attended college.

Enrolling students must submit their foreign transcript through World Education Services, International Education Evaluations, or other accredited services for evaluation.

1. If the applicant is from a non-English speaking country, they are required to submit:
   • The TOEFL (IBT minimum score 61 or Paper minimum score 500), IELTS (minimum score 6), or Duolingo English Test (minimum score 95) is required for all applicants whose native language is not English. If a minimum score is not met, students may submit proof of successful completion of an ESL program, SAT, or ACT scores for review to be taken into consideration.
   • We are unable to waive the cost of any English exams taken by an applicant.
      
2.  If you have attended a secondary or post-secondary institution in the United States for two or more years and have a grade point average at or above a 3.00 on a 4.00 scale (or equivalent), you do not need to send language test scores.
    
3. International students must be enrolled as a full-time student with at least 9 hours in the classroom (Day Campus) to fulfill the requirements of the International Student Exchange and Visitor Program (SEVIS). Those students wishing to take courses through the Internet must simultaneously enroll in classroom courses on our Day Campus in Gaffney.
