International Student Admission Requirements
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) currently does not authorize Flint River Technical College to issue student visas. Applicants who are permanent residents or who qualify under refugee or asylee status are exempt from obtaining M-1 visas to attend college. To gain consideration for admission, applicants must:
- Submit the College’s application for admission and the $15 one-time, non-refundable application fee payable with U.S. currency, a credit card, or money order or check issued by a bank in the United States.
- Submit valid placement program test scores (COMPASS, ASSET, SAT, ACT). Test scores must be less than five (5) years.
- Provide copies of resident alien identification cards.
- Provide official English translations of all secondary and postsecondary records and evaluations of those records by an independent evaluation service. (The addresses, applications, and information on the approved companies that provide evaluation services of foreign transcripts are available from the Office of Student Affairs.) Applicants must pay the costs of having their records translated and/or evaluated. At a minimum, applicants must have the equivalent of a high school diploma.
After applicants submit this documentation, the Office of Student Affairs will evaluate their application materials. Applicants will be placed in courses on a space-available basis. The College will assess tuition and fees at a rate that is four times the rate assessed for Georgia residents until international residents establish in-state residency.
