Apply for International Admission as a Transfer Student

Welcome to City Colleges of Chicago! International students often transfer to City Colleges following intensive English language study at other schools.

International students who wish to transfer college credit earned from a non-U.S. accredited institution must request a foreign transcript evaluation through a NACES approved evaluation service.

College-level credit earned at foreign institutions may be accepted for transfer to City Colleges of Chicago (CCC). However, foreign credits must be evaluated in order to apply proper credit for prior classwork.           

Foreign Credentials Evaluation

College credits and educational credentials — such as transcripts, diplomas, or certificates — earned at the secondary or post-secondary levels outside of the United States must be evaluated by a NACES ​approved evaluation service. A catalog match evaluation is strongly recommended, but not required.​               

Application Requirements

  • Complete an International Student Admission Application (to be filled out by applicant only). An International Student Admission Application is available from your International Student Advisor.
  • You must be in good standing at your current institution and must enroll in the next academic term after leaving your current institution.
  • Submit a Form I-20 release letter from your current institution or a Transfer Verification document (included in the International Student Admission Application).
  • You are required to take the official City Colleges English placement test (reading comprehension and writing mechanics) and demonstrate an intermediate level of English proficiency.
  • Submit official copies of academic transcripts from secondary, college, or university institutions.
  • Have all foreign transcripts evaluated and submit the final evaluation to City Colleges of Chicago. 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.

  • Submit a copy of your current SEVIS Form I-20.
