International Students

Welcome to the City Colleges! You will feel right at home. We are very proud of our international students - about 400 students from 75 countries. This talented group comprises an important part of our highly diverse student population.

City Colleges of Chicago is one of the largest and most comprehensive community colleges in the United States and has been an integral part of the City of Chicago since 1911. Comprised of seven colleges located across the city, we offer more than 200 programs of study to prepare our students for a career or to continue their education at a four-year college or university.                 

CCC Accepts Three Types of International Students

Mandatory Medical Insurance Requirements

The Board of Trustees of the City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) require that all International Students under F1 status (student visa) attending City Colleges of Chicago must have health insurance before they can register for classes. (No exceptions)  Failure to obtain such insurance or willful violation of this insurance requirement will be considered a violation of status.                       

Foreign Credentials Evaluation

Educational credentials — such as college credits, diplomas, or certificates — earned at the secondary or post-secondary levels outside of the United States must be evaluated by an approved transcript evaluation service. 

Members of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) provide credential evaluation services for individuals who have completed education outside the United States.

It is up to the student to research pricing and select an NACES approved credential evaluation service
