Prior to the issuance of an I-20 and admission
to Hagerstown Community College, applicants who are nonresidents
of the U.S. must submit the following documents:
|
|
- An HCC application with a local sponsor’s address and
the student’s address from his/her home country.
- A certified copy of high school and college transcripts in
both native language and an English translation if necessary.
A course-by-course evaluation by World Education Services (WES)
is required.
- A statement of financial resources including the amount and
source of funds to cover the student’s college expenses
(Form I-134 Affidavit of Support). The approximate cost of tuition,
fees, books, and living expenses is $16,000 per year. All F-1
students are classified as out-of-state residents for tuition
purposes while an HCC student.
Students must have a local sponsor who will agree to provide housing,
meals, transportation, and health care. Hagerstown Community College
has no on-campus housing, therefore, students must secure housing
with a local sponsor. The local sponsor should be a close relative
or other responsible individual.
- An official score report from the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL). Students must attain a minimum score of 500
on the paper-based test or 173 on the computer-based test.
- The College’s placement assessments are required once
the student has been approved for an F-1 visa and arrives on campus.
The application and all supporting documents must be completed
and submitted by May 15 for the fall semester, October 15 for the
spring semester, and February 15 for the summer sessions. |
