Students with Foreign Transcripts

“Students with foreign transcripts” are defined as individuals who have a permanent United States address, are not sole residents of another country, and have studied at a foreign university or high school. These students should complete the regular admissions requirements in the first drop-down above but must ensure official academic transcripts are professionally translated to English. We recommend using an evaluation service accredited by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES).  Students should carefully review the list of evaluation services as prices and timing vary.

International Students

Central Maine Community College welcomes students from all over the world. An “international student” is defined as a person who is not a U.S. citizen or U.S. immigrant and seeks to attend college in the U.S. while maintaining residency in another nation. An F-1 student visa is required before an international student can attend CMCC. To get an F-1 Visa, the College needs to submit a Form I-20 that indicates you have been accepted at CMCC, have the funds to attend, and have the language skills to be successful.

For us to prepare the I-20, you need to complete the following steps and provide the following materials:

1. A completed Application for Admission.
2. Official academic transcripts professionally translated to English – we recommend using World Education Services (www.wes.org).
3. Attendance Confirmation. Please confirm your spot at, CMCC.edu/Mustang
