The Application Process

The College requires each applicant to submit the appropriate documents listed below.  It is your responsibility to ensure that the documents needed to complete your application are submitted in a timely manner.

The Application for Admission
Application fee – A $50 (US) or JAD 4,500 non-refundable fee, payable to the College, in the form of a Manager’s Cheque is required of each applicant.  This fee will not be waived under any circumstances.

High School Transcripts – a record of all academic work completed is required at the time of application.  This report should include certified records of any national examinations required for completion of secondary education (e.g. CXC/CSEC, CAPE 1 CAPE 2, GCE “O” and “A” Level, IB, French Baccalaureat, Maturita, Bagrut, Abitur, etc.) outside the Caribbean.

Immunization – Appropriate immunization as is required by The Ministry of Health, Jamaica.

College Transcripts – These are required of all applicants who are seeking transfer credit for work done at another college or university.  Official transcripts noting any degrees earned from each institution you attended must be filed with the office of admissions.  Transfer students who have completed their education in the Caribbean, the U.S., E.U., South America and the rest of the world and earned in excess of 24 semester hours of credit following completion of the high school diploma are not required to submit high school transcripts.  In addition, international students who attended college outside the CARICOM must submit their transcripts for evaluation.

Letters of Recommendation – Though not required, letters of recommendation can add to the strength of any application, especially in the scholarship review process.

Proficiency in English – official results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) must be submitted by all applicants from countries where English is not the official language of instruction.  A minimum score of 500 on the paper exam is required for admission consideration or 173 on the computer-based format.  Students who fall below this range will be required to complete an intensive English Language program.

International Applicant’s Affidavit of Support – All international students applying to study at the College and requiring a student’s visa must complete this application, along with the College’s International Application Supplement.  This application supplement, along with instructions and the College’s International Student Guide can be obtained by contacting the office of admissions, or on the College’s web site. An application from a student requiring a student’s visa issued by the College will not be considered complete unless the International Application Supplement, along with all required supporting documentation, have been submitted to the office of admissions.  All credentials must be submitted in English.  All translations must be certified and accompanied by notarized copies of the original document(s) as well.

Interviews – Both an admissions and a financial aid interview are required for all applicants.  While personal interviews are not required for admission, they are strongly recommended.

Application Deadlines – The office of admissions reviews applications on a rolling basis, and all applications will be considered at the time they are received.  The College recommends applying for the fall and summer semesters by March 1, and the spring semester by November 1.
