Admissions
International Students at Danville Area Community College
Students from all origins are welcome to study at Danville Area Community
College. We are authorized under Federal Law to enroll non-immigrant alien
students. An international student is not a U.S. citizen.
To be admitted to DACC as an international student,
the following steps must be completed:
-
Complete the equivalent of a high school (secondary) education which normally
means the completion of twelve (12) years of schooling and the applicant
is at least eighteen (18) years of age;
-
Have a mastery of the English language with a score of 500 or better on
the paper-based TOEFL test, a 173 or better on the computer based TOEFL test, or
a 61 or better on the Internet based TOEFL;
-
Complete a Preliminary Application for International Students;
-
Provide official transcripts covering all school work (high school and
college) completed with English translations;
-
Provide an affidavit stipulating that adequate finances are available while
studying in the United States. (See Tuition & Living Expenses Below)
International Student Information:
-
International students must carry a minimum of twelve (12) credit hours
per semester. Since no scholarships are available to international students,
it is essential that students from outside the United States have sufficient
funds to cover their expenses while in this country.
-
International students are accepted on the basis of available space in
the various educational programs. Consideration is also given to selecting
a diversified international student population to enhance the enrollment
of citizens from numerous countries.
-
Enrollment into courses will be determined by placement assessment scores
and personal evaluations (if needed). Students deficient in English language
skills must be enrolled in English as a Second Language classes.
-
DACC does not have student housing. However, apartments and other housing
are available in the Danville Area. See
Student
Life for more information.
