Academic Admission Criteria:
Undergraduate: must have graduated from a secondary/high school with a “C” average or better. Transfer students must have a “C” average or better from any post-secondary schools attended.
International Students Transferring from a U.S. Institution:
International students who are currently studying in the U.S. and maintained their F-1 status can easily transfer. Upon admission to Itasca, please present your admission letter to your current U.S. school, requesting that your SEVIS I-20 be electronically transferred out to Itasca Community College. Usually, this would occur immediately at the conclusion of your studies at your current school. Your I-20 would then be transferred in by Itasca.
Visa and Travel:
The I-20 is issued after the conditions of admission and financial stability have been met. The Form I-20 must be presented together with evidence of payment of the SEVIS Fee, your passport and original records of financial support to the nearest American Consulate. It may be to your advantage to request a multiple entry visa which will allow more flexibility should you desire to visit other countries during your stay in the U.S. Students who will be transferring from another U.S. institution should consult with their present international student advisor as to the required transfer procedures. Please note that Canadian citizens are not required to apply for a visa. Canadians may present their documents at the port of entry. This includes your I-20, evidence of payment of the SEVIS fee, passport and original records of financial support at the port of entry.
