Admissions Categories
Provisional Admission
Students who have not submitted all required documentation are admitted provisionally.
Provisionally-admitted students may enroll and attend classes pending receipt of transcripts and other required documents but cannot be certified for participation in activities or receive financial aid. Students remain on provisional status until all the necessary documents have been certified by the Admissions Office.
Full-Time/Part-Time Students (U.S. Citizens)
To be admitted as a full-time student, the applicant must:
- Complete an application for admission;
- Graduate from an accredited high school or home school or be a recipient of a General Educational Development (GED) diploma;
- Submit official transcripts, including high school/GED, as well as transcripts from any college or technical schools attended;
- Seek a degree or credential from CCC, or take courses for transfer to another accredited institution to complete a degree or credential.
International Student
International applicants must submit completed forms directly to the Admissions
Department:
- Medical History Form
- Immunization Record. If the student cannot get a copy of their immunization record, they will have to get a series of shots upon arrival to campus, which comes at an added cost.
- Meningococcal Form
- TB Questionnaire
TB Screening—If you answer yes to any of the questions on the TB
Questionnaire, you must have a TB skin test done in the United States. This test can be done at the local health department or campus student health office (approximately $5). If you answer yes to the BCG Vaccine question, you must have the QuantiFERON Gold blood test done (approximately $60), or the TB skin test could result in a false positive. If the QuantiFERON Gold blood test returns positive, the student must get a chest x-ray at the student’s expense. Failure to comply with this policy will result in termination of I-20 and loss of F-1 status.
- Provide Proof of English Proficiency
Students from countries with English as their primary language are required to provide proof of English proficiency. Please Note that CCC has no intensive English as a Second Language program. All students must take a placement exam to determine which class level they place into unless ACT or SAT scores have been sent to the Admissions Office. - Submit a Copy of Official Secondary School Records
- This must show a graduation date and grade point average. An English translation is required.
- If the student is transferring in college credits from a US institution, an official
transcript from the respective college should be sent to the Registrar’s Office.
- Sponsor’s Agreement and ID
- A sponsor is financially ready to support the student with payments over two years at CCC. The sponsor must provide proof of funds ($14,000) to pay for college costs and living expenses. Students should be prepared to finance their US stay without the College's help.
- Financial Documentation: Financial Documentation is a bank statement from the previous three months before issuing an I-20, showing documentation of $14,000 US dollars in the student’s account.
- Copy of the Student’s Passport
- Copy of placement test scores (SAT, ACT, ACCUPLACER) if the student took a test.
- Housing plans
- Insurance card
- Pay a $1,500.00 deposit. The deposit includes a $150 non-refundable application
fee, a $175 housing deposit (if living on campus), and the remainder will be split
between fall and spring billing statements to be applied towards the student’s bill.
