International Documents and Testing

Because of possible mail delays and additional time that may be needed for review, students with international records should attempt to complete the admission application file by these dates to ensure that their materials arrive no later than these dates:
 
Spring class consideration (freshmen and transfers)—November 15
Fall class consideration (freshmen and transfers)—November 1, February 1, April 1, and June 1
 
Applicants with records from school systems abroad and all international applicants (students who are not US Citizens or Permanent Resident Aliens of the United States) should review the list of documents for any additional requirements to complete the admission application file for review, and contact the Office of Admissions regarding any request to waive materials that may not be necessary.

Translation

Transcripts and degree certificates or diplomas issued in any language other than English must be accompanied by a certified, line-for-line English translation of the original document. Acceptable certified translations may be issued by the educational institution or by a professional translating service.

Evaluation

Applicants whose educational history has not followed a curriculum patterned upon the U.S. system may be required to submit their academic transcripts to a credential evaluation agency depending on the degree level to which they are applying. For specific requirements, applicants should refer to New College Admissions' webpage for International Students.

English Proficiency

English proficiency test requirements vary by entrance level. For specific requirements, applicants should refer to New College Admissions' webpage for International Students.

Any Additional Examination Results

Results from any external secondary school exams, such as A-Levels, CXCs, etc., should be provided on an official transcript or sent to the Office of Admissions by the exam council. Exam results may also be required by the NACES-member service that the student pays to evaluate educational credentials for the application.

New College of Florida Financial Statement for International Students Seeking the F-1 Student Visa

The Office of Admissions will provide this form to admitted international students no earlier than six months prior to the term of entry. International students are required to prove their ability to cover (after any assigned scholarship funding they may be offered) all educational and living expenses, and the required international student medical insurance coverage. Estimated expenses may be viewed here. Most international students are not eligible for need-based financial aid, and some categories of scholarship funding are not available to international students.
