    • We encourage all application materials to be submitted to the Office of Admissions by May 1st for the Fall semester, and by September 1st for the Spring semester in order to provide enough time for the F-1 Student Visa application process in the student's country of origin.

  • Upon receipt of the application/photo/application fee, we will forward additional information to be completed along with a checklist of what is required. This will include the following:

    • Transcripts: Arrange to have official transcripts of all work completed on the high school and/or college level forwarded directly from the institution(s) attended to the Davis College Office of Admissions. Transcripts must be in English. If you would like transfer credit from a college or university outside the U.S., the college catalog must accompany the official transcript.

    • Standardized Tests:  Freshman applicants must submit the scores from the Scholastic Achievement Test (SAT I) or the American College Test (ACT). Links: ACT | SAT

    • English Proficiency (for visa requirements): Davis College does not offer a program in English as a Second Language. English proficiency must be established by submitting the official scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) to Davis using our institutional code 1000. Students must receive a score of 525 or better on the paper based exam, and 195 or better on the computer based exam.

      • Registration materials for all of the examinations discussed above are available from American Embassies and Consulate offices, the United States Information Agency (USIA), and many private organizations like the Institute of International Education (IIE), African-American Institute (AAI), America-Mid East Educational and Training Services (AMIDEAST), and the American Kor-Asian Foundation. Registration materials for the TOEFL examination are also available by writing TOEFL, Box 899, Princeton, NJ, 08540, U.S.A.

      • Enrollment Deposit required of all International Students for 2007/2008 ($4,200): This figure represents the sum cost of Tuition + Room and Board for ONE semester after our 50% International Scholarship has been applied. This deposit is required by law before we can begin the I-20 VISA Process.

    • International Student Financial Statement (for visa requirements): Financial assistance for the student on an F-l Visa (student visa) is not available. To satisfy visa application requirements, the applicant must show adequate finances to cover the expected period of study by submitting an International Student Financial Statement including documentary proof of funding. The financial guarantee must state that the applicant has in excess of $9,000 (U.S. funds) available for the academic year.  You may download the forms by clicking the appropriate link below.
