International Student
If you are a citizen of another country and plan to attend Johnston Community College
on a government visa, then you are an international student. Follow the enrollment
steps below.
(International students are treated as nonresidents of the State of North Carolina
with respect to tuition and fees. The College is unable to provide financial aid to
international students, therefore, international students must have sufficient funds
to cover all living expenses, tuition, and fees while attending the College. Student
housing is not provided by the College. International students are expected to make
their own arrangements for housing).
NOTE: The application and documentation deadline for international students is March
1st of the year of application. Any applications that have not been submitted by
this date with all required documentation supplied will not be processed for the next
Fall semester, which will begin in August.
Complete your Residency Determination and online Admissions Application.
Your residency determination, application, and all documentation should be submitted
at least six months prior to the date of proposed admission to initiate the admissions
process. For questions concerning the admissions process, please call (919) 209-2128
or email jccadmissions@johnstoncc.edu.
A certified copy of the original educational records, to include all previous academic
experiences, is required. If the original copy of this record is written in a non-English
language, a certified English translation is required.
TOEFL scores are required of all applicants, except those from countries where English
is the official language, as evidence of adequate English proficiency. The minimum
acceptable TOEFL score is 550.
Arrangements must be made to take the placement test and complete a Connect Session
prior to being accepted for admissions.
A signed financial statement is required of all applicants. This should be a detailed
statement of the applicant’s financial situation, including the amount of resources
available per year, source of income, and any other pertinent information. The availability
of funds sufficient to meet expenses for the first academic year must be certified.
The inclusion of any false information constitutes grounds for dismissal from the
College and reporting to SEVIS.
A student medical Form, completed and signed by a physician, must be submitted on
the Form provided by the College. The student must have completed the hepatitis B
series.
Each applicant must supply a certified statement from a United States citizen stating
that the citizen agrees to accept responsibility for sponsoring and assisting the
applicant as may be necessary for the applicant to pursue his/her educational objectives.
New students must complete an orientation session.
All new students should sign up for the New Student Orientation prior to the start
date of their first semester. The orientation provides information about key services
and programs for first year students and helps to establish a foundation for success
in the campus community. Students can sign up for Orientation online.
