LSSC welcomes international students. International students are non-immigrants who meet the international admissions requirements. The following requirements must be met by students seeking admission on an F-1 visa:

1. Have the equivalent of a U.S. high school diploma. International students must arrange to have transcripts from all institutions outside the United States evaluated at their expense. Additional information and the list of college-approved evaluation agencies is available on the International Student Admissions page. Please be sure to order “Course-By-Course” transcripts for both high school and college evaluations. The applicant must submit to the evaluation agency a complete record of all subjects taken and examinations passed. These records must carry the official seal of the educational institution.
2. If English is not the applicant’s native language, acceptable TOEFL scores of at least 213 for the computer-based test, 79-80 Internet-based test, or 550 for the written-based test must be submitted.
3. Submit a financial statement showing the student's financial support equaling the Cost of Attendance (COA) associated with an out of state student living off campus. If there is a U.S. sponsor (U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien) covering a portion or all of the funding, a U.S. immigration form (I-134 Affidavit of Support) will be required along with a bank statement from a financial institution.
4. Contact the Admissions office for an online International Student Application for Admission along with the non-refundable $75.00 application fee (in U.S. dollars). Students must apply for the A.A. program. For further information, visit the International Student Admissions page.
5. Pay the SEVIS I-901 Fee: All International students must visit the Department of Homeland Security website at www.fmjfee.com to complete the I-901 Form and pay the required fee once they have received their Immigration Form I-20 from LSSC. The payment receipt from the SEVIS I-901 fee is required for the interview at the U.S. Embassy. This fee is in addition to the normal interview fees the embassy may charge.
6. Provide proof of health and accident insurance. This proof is required prior to registering for classes.

Any inquiries, questions, submissions of documents, and all correspondence should be directed to the Enrollment Service Center esc@lssc.edu.
