International Student Admissions

International students applying to the College must complete an International Student Supplemental Application to be considered for admissions. Prospective students may obtain the Supplemental Application at www.flcc.edu/apply or by emailing the Finger Lakes Community College Admissions Office at admissions@flcc.edu. International students are required to submit official proof of high school graduation. Official transcripts or diplomas that are not in English must be accompanied by an exactly worded and certified translation.

  • Applicants must also demonstrate English proficiency in one of three ways:
    • Submit an official TOEFL test score report. The minimum iBT TOEFL score necessary to be considered for admissions at FLCC is 46.
    • Submit an official IELTS test score report. The minimum IELTS score band for FLCC admissions is a 5.5.
    • Appeal for an exemption based on language of study. Demonstrate with transcripts that the primary language of instruction was in English for at least 4 years of study at the secondary and/or postsecondary level. Final determination for language testing exemption is made by the Admissions Office on a case-by-case basis.

    Completed international student applications must be received in the Admissions Office by December 1 to be considered for the spring semester and by June 1 for the fall semester.
