The Fisher College Application may be completed online (recommended) or downloaded from our Web site. A $50 application fee is required. International Students intending to enroll in the Spring Semester should apply by December 1st. Applicants for the Fall Semester should apply by July 1st.
International students transferring their I-20 from another college or language school must submit a transfer release form and a copy of their I-20 from the last college attended. All transfer students must be in good academic standing, must owe no money to their previous college, and must not have any judicial or criminal complaints against them.
Academic Records
A final official transcript sent directly from your secondary school. Photocopies of transcripts are not acceptable. Transcripts must be translated into English. If you are not able to provide an official, translated transcript, we recommend that you utilize the services of the Center for Educational Documentation (opens in new window), to provide Fisher College with appropriate documentation.
If you intend to transfer from another college/university, you will need to forward official transcripts from that college as well as written course descriptions.
English Proficiency
Official results from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or its equivalent. Fisher accepts a variety of other language examinations, such as:
The minimum TOEFL score required for direct acceptance is 500. Students with lower scores may be conditionally accepted to Fisher, or be required to attend language development courses through our ESL partner, the Language Company. Students take college-level courses at the discretion of their Academic Advisor. (The school code for Fisher College is 3391.)
Fisher College offers several English Language Preparation Programs for students who may need additional assistance to improve their English language skills.
Financial Verification
A notarized, current bank statement verifying that the student has a minimum of $38,000.00 U.S. Dollars in a cash account available for his or her use. If the bank account is not in the student's name, then a notarized letter of support should accompany the notarized bank statement from the holder of the account. Most consulates around the world require the applicant to prove that he or she is able to pay for his or her entire program of study.
Health Insurance
All applicants must agree to obtain and maintain health insurance.
