International Admission
International students seeking admission to Cornell College should
obtain application materials from the Admissions Office. Applicants will
need to provide evidence of English language proficiency, satisfactory
completion of secondary schooling, and sufficient financial support.
Applicants are required to submit a TOEFL score but may substitute
either the SAT or ACT.
The Admissions Office and Office of Intercultural Life assist
international students in matters related to the U.S. Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) and their F-1 visa status. Official forms
and current information are available from those offices.
International students with the legal status of aliens, including those
students with the non-immigrant status of either F or B, must maintain
their legal status in order to be permitted to continue to enroll in
courses at Cornell College. International students must be enrolled as full-time students (eight terms per year). Students who are in the process of changing
status must have received approval, or reasonable assurance of obtaining
approval, before enrolling in courses at Cornell. The burden of proof
rests with the student. Reasonable proof of filing may include a
statement from INS that the forms are being processed or a registered
mail receipt showing that INS has received the forms. If an application
for reinstatement of status is denied by INS, the College may terminate
the student's enrollment at any time. The Director of Intercultural Life is the Designated School
Official authorized to act on behalf of Cornell in immigration matters.
In cooperation with the Dean of Students Office and the Business and
Registrar's Offices, staff in the Office of Intercultural Life advise and
assist international students in communications with home governments
and educational and sponsoring agencies. They also assist with
other personal and academic concerns when requested.
