admissions

for international students

International students are encouraged to apply for admission as early as possible. The I-20 form needed to obtain a student visa will be issued upon acceptance to CVA and once the $200 tuition deposit has been received. In addition to the general admission requirements, international applicants must also submit the following:

(1) PROOF OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY: Unless English is one's first language, a minimum score of 500 on the paper Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), 173 on the computer version of the TOEFL, or completion of an English as a Second Language (ESL) program through level 109 is required. A solid command of oral and written English is necessary for success in CVA's programs. The college's TOEFL code number is 6108.

(2) CERTIFIED TRANSLATION OF ALL DOCUMENTS: Diplomas, transcripts, financial statements and letters must be submitted in certified English translations. CVA can refer students to organizations providing translations.

(3) DECLARATION OF FINANCES: International students must submit an official affidavit and appropriate bank statement verifying adequate funds to cover tuition, fees, housing and supplies for one academic year at CVA. Any declarations must be submitted in US currency.
