International (F-1 Visa) Student Admissions

In addition to the admissions procedures required of native students, international applicants must demonstrate English comprehension.
International applicants, for whom English is not a native language, may demonstrate adequate comprehension of English by one of two methods.

1. Submission of a TOEFL score of 500 or above paper based or 173 or above computer based.
2. Successful completion of one or more years of a U.S. high school or postsecondary education and a TOEFL score of 450 or above paper based or 133 or above computer based.

In addition, international applicants must submit an RCC application for admissions, high school/GED evidence of completion, and college transcripts if applicable, and take the College’s placement test.

Please note: International applicants are responsible for having their transcripts translated into English, if needed, and evaluated by an approved transcript evaluation service if requested. The international student counselor in Student Services can provide assistance in locating such services.

Application materials for admission should be received from international applicants two months prior to the semester in which the student wishes to enroll. Also, U.S. Immigration law requires proof of financial support for the student’s entire program of study. Once all requirements have been met, RCC will issue the I-20 immigration form.
