I Am an International Student
 

If you’re an international student requesting an F-1 or M-1 visa (I-20 forms), you must complete the following requirements:

1. Complete an Admission Information Form.  

Submit your printed application to the L&C Enrollment Center on the main campus in Baldwin 1450.  The mailing address is L&C Enrollment Center at 5800 Godfrey Road, Godfrey, Illinois 62035. 

2. Have official transcripts from all educational institutions previously attended—including secondary schools, colleges, and universities—sent to the L&C Enrollment Center at 5800 Godfrey Road, Godfrey, Illinois 62035. 

All transcripts must be translated into English.  L&C requires the completion of high school graduation equivalency for unconditional admission.  Also, admission to L&C depends on good academic standing (2.0 grade point average or above) at previously attended educational institutions. 

3. Send your official TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) score to the L&C Enrollment Center.  L&C requires a minimum score of 500 (paper-based), 173 (computer-based), 61 (internet-based) for admission. 

4. Show a statement of your ability to pay the college’s foreign student tuition rate and living expenses.  The estimated cost for both tuition and living expenses is $20,000 per year.  This statement should come from a family member or sponsor with documentation from a financial institution. 

5. Complete the International Student Data Sheet

The Enrollment Center must receive all information at least 60 days before the requested semester begins.  Upon admission, you are required to follow an Education Plan and maintain a full-time enrollment status (at least 12 semester hours) each semester.  I-20 forms will only be issued when all above requirements are met.

NOTE: L&C does not have the resources to help students find housing nor do we have dormitory facilities. We strongly recommend that all international students have a sponsor or mentor within the college district to provide cultural and social support while living in the area.
