CHECKLIST FOR ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS

Admissions Application ~ An admissions application must be completed and signed.
An admissions application may be obtained from the website www.nacc.edu.

Official Transcripts Mailed Directly to Northeast Alabama Community College ~
All foreign transcripts must be evaluated by an approved transcript evaluation service. Click here (http://www.lisano-intl.com/) for the website of the evaluation service recommended by Northeast. The international student will be responsible for contacting Lisano International Foreign Educational Credential Evaluation and making arrangements for whatever fees or requirements are necessary. Request that a copy of this evaluation be mailed to Northeast Alabama Community College (NACC). The transcripts must be evaluated, not just translated.

Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) ~ The Test of English as a foreign Language (TOEFL) measures the ability of nonnative speakers to use and understand English. This is required if you are transferring from a country where English is not the official language. Currently NACC will accept the paper-based test with a minimum score requirement of 500 or the computer-based test with a minimum score requirement of 173. For more information visit the TOEFL website at www.toefl.org.

Affidavit of Financial Support ~ Present a signed and notarized statement declaring you or your sponsor(s) will be responsible for all financial obligations. The approximate cost per year is $10000 to $28000 depending on the program and the number of semesters you choose. A bank statement or bank letter (on letterhead paper dated within six (6) months of the first date of class attendance) MUST be attached to the Affidavit of financial Support. These documents must be in English and U.S. dollars.

Proof of Adequate Health Insurance ~ The student must present proof of adequate health and repatriation insurance which must be maintained during all periods of enrollment.

UPON MEETING ALL ABOVE REQUIREMENTS THE STUDENT WILL BE ISSUED AN I-20 FORM BY NORTHEAST ALABAMA COMMUNITY COLLEGE.

F-1 Student Status ~ Once prospective students have received the I-20, they need to apply for an F-1 visa at the nearest U.S. consulate of their home country. See Visa application instructions. Students should check with their local U. S. consulate for any special materials required for visa application. For more information visit the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Service webpage at: http://uscis.gov/graphics/index.htm.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WHO TRANSFER FROM WITHIN THE UNITED STATES MUST ALSO OBTAIN:

Official Transcripts from Previous Institutions ~ Have official transcripts of student's records mailed from all previous attended colleges and universities directly to Northeast Alabama Community College.

A Transfer Clearance Form (pdf) ~ Complete this Transfer Clearance Form which must clearly indicate that the student is in good standing or in-status from the previous institution.

NOTE: There is no housing on the Northeast Alabama Community College campus, and housing within walking distance is very limited. This makes it very difficult for an international student who has no friends or family in the area. Apartments are available within commuting (driving) distance.
