Requirements for All International Applicants
Along with our usual application requirements, international students have a few additional requirements.
1) Submit application
2) Official Transcripts
If the international student’s education was completed outside of the United States, we require an international transcript evaluation as part of the admissions process. International students need to have official transcripts evaluated by a service such as World Education Services (WES).
This evaluation helps us verify readiness for college-level coursework and determine whether any prior college credits may be transferable to CCBC.
We typically recommend using World Education Services (WES), though you may use another NACES-approved evaluation service if you prefer.
3) Pastoral Reference
4) TOEFL Exam Results
Applicants must demonstrate the ability to understand and speak English.
