International Student Admission
Greenville College values the mutual benefit experienced by American students and internationals from learning together in the classroom and in extracurricular activities. International students are encouraged to pursue a Greenville College education.

Due to the additional admissions information international students are asked to supply, it is important the application process is started as early as possible. Communication between the student and the Office of Admissions can be enhanced and quickened if a student can supply an e-mail address and/or a fax number for follow-up communication.

In addition to meeting the regular admissions requirements, international students are required to supply the following information:

1. Academic transcripts translated to English (if assistance is needed with the translation of a transcript, please contact World Education Service for assistance)
2. A financial statement: Declaration of Finances: International Student Certification of Finances 2003-2004 (.pdf ~56k)
3. Demonstrated English proficiency

Federal regulations require colleges admitting international students to confirm the student's financial resources. This is accomplished by submission of a Declaration or Finances, Affidavit of Financial Support, or a bank statement showing adequate financial resources.

International students, and other students, for whom English is not the native language are required to demonstrate proficiency in the English language. The English language requirement of the College will be met when the applicant has submitted a score of 500 or better on the TOEFL, or completed level 109 at an ELS Language Center. Additional course work in English reading, writing, or conversation may be required of some students.

Greenville College provides financial assistance to a limited number of international students each year. Recipients are determined based on financial need and usually consist of those from third-world countries. Before an I-20 Form can be sent to an international student, documentation showing evidence of the entire cost of education (including whatever aid may come from the school) must be received by the Office of Admissions.

For more information about international student admissions, please use the online request form.

Special Student Admission
Students who wish to take academic course work toward a degree or license, attain qualifications for advancement, or simply improve themselves may be admitted as Special Students. Also, students who cannot attain admission to a full-time degree program may be considered for Special Student admission.

Guest Admission
Students enrolled in good standing in a degree program at another academic institution who wish to complete course work for transfer to that institution may be granted guest admission. The admission process requires approval and recommendation from the student's present college.

Home School Student Admission
Greenville College welcomes home schooled students to apply for admission. Greenville College requires home schooled students to submit the information required for freshman admission.

Applicants are evaluated by consideration of their academic record, test scores, references, interviews, and participation in extracurricular activities. If a discrepancy is evident between the home school grades and the results of the standardized test scores, a student may be asked to submit the results of the GED (General Education Development) high school equivalency test. These students may be required to enroll in a special academic program as a condition of their enrollment; satisfactory completion of this program is required for continuing enrollment.
