3. TOEFL SCORE REPORT/ DEMONSTRATION OF ENGLISH
PROFICIENCY
(page 3 of the I-20 Application form)
F-1 transfer applicants from outside the immediate area of the college must submit an official TOEFL score report that is sent directly from TOEFL/ETS to demonstrate sufficient English proficiency for admission to TCC as an F-1 visa student. A minimum TOEFL score of 45 ( iBT ) or placement into TCC’s ESL Intermediate LEVEL II is required for admission to TCC as an F-1 transfer student. Applicants who live in the vicinity of the college may take TCC’s ESL Placement test in lieu of an international TOEFL score report. A minimum placement into the ESL Intermediate LEVEL II is required. If the result of TCC’s ESL placement test indicates a need to strengthen your English language skills, you will need to complete the required ESL courses before enrolling in your academic program. F-1 Transfer applicants who have successfully completed a Freshman Composition course in the U.S. may provide an unofficial transcript in lieu of a TOEFL score report.
4. HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA OR SECONDARY STUDIES FINAL
CERTIFICATE
F-1 applicants must be 18 years of age and provide a COPY of the document that indicates completion of secondary studies, i.e., high school diploma or secondary studies final certificate. Academic credentials submitted to TCC must be accompanied by an English translation. Applicants who have NOT completed secondary studies will not be accepted for English as a Second language study or academic study.
5. CONTINUOUS HEALTH INSURANCE
(page 2 of the I-20 Application form)
All F-1 students and their dependents are required to provide proof of continuous health insurance coverage for each semester, including summer, by the last day of the add/drop week. Proof of international student health insurance that meets the minimum standards set by the ISS Office is mandatory. Students who fail to provide evidence of continuous health insurance for the entire semester, and summer, will be blocked from college transactions.
* The International Student Services Office no longer accepts health coverage from the International Student Organization (ISO). Brochures for companies that meet the ISS requirements are available at the International Student Services Office.
