International Applicants


SCAD welcomes students from throughout the world. International applicants should adhere to requirements relevant to first-year freshman, undergraduate transfer, or graduate applicants. SCAD is authorized under federal law to enroll nonimmigrant international students who demonstrate proficiency in the English language and who certify means of financial support for their studies. Documentation of financial support for the first year is required for SCAD to begin the process for an international applicant to obtain a visa. Submission of official certification of sources and funds at the time of application is strongly encouraged and may expedite the visa process. SCAD-eLearning applicants residing outside the United States are not required to submit certification of sources and funds. Although international students are not eligible to receive


federal or state financial aid, all admitted students are automatically considered for institutional scholarships. These funds are limited and are awarded to the earliest qualifiers. SCAD reserves the right to verify all documents submitted


in application for admission. Any falsification of admission documents or portfolio or audition materials constitutes grounds for termination of application procedures or dismissal from SCAD. Permanent residents must submit proof of legal residency such as a copy of a resident alien card. A copy of the first page of each international applicant’s passport is requested, though not required. A copy of the first page of the passport for any dependent accompanying the international applicant also is requested. These documents are used to verify correct spelling of names, correct birth dates, and other information vital to student registration. English is the medium of instruction for all courses. An


acceptable score on the TOEFL, IELTS, ACTFL or SAT is required for admission if English is not the student’s first language.* For international applicants whose native language is English, or whose academic transcripts show extensive study in an institution in which English is the language of instruction, no additional proof of English proficiency is required. All new international students who have not been granted


a waiver from ESL are required to take an English language proficiency test upon arrival at SCAD. Students are placed in the appropriate level of English as a Second Language, as determined by their scores on the test. ESL classes focus on oral fluency, listening and reading comprehension, grammatical accuracy, and formal and informal writing. Students wishing only to take ESL courses must submit a separate application form and should contact the admission office for information. * Minimum acceptable scores include 50 on the internet-based TOEFL; 4.5 on the IELTS; intermediate low-, novice high-, mid- and low-proficiency on the ACTFL writing proficiency test.


International Students and Online Coursework International students attending SCAD within the United States must follow the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services rules pertaining to online courses. The rules, which are outlined on Page 2 of the I-20 visa, include the following regarding registration in online coursework: Registration in an online course is allowed, but 50 percent or more of classes taken in a quarter must be in a classroom (not online). Typically, this means international students could take only one online course out of a total of three courses. For more information on this or other academic matters related to international status, students should contact the SCAD office of international student services.

Other Types of Admission


Certificate Applicants to undergraduate certificate programs should follow the application guidelines for first-time freshman or transfer applicants. Applicants to graduate certificate programs should follow the application guidelines for graduate degree applicants. For more information, certificate applicants should contact the admission office by telephone or e-mail or visit the SCAD website at www.scad.edu/admission.


Nondegree-seeking Enrollment for nondegree-seeking students is on a space- available basis for individuals who, while not wishing to pursue a degree, would like to enroll in SCAD courses. Nondegree-seeking applicants must submit an application for admission, a résumé, and a nonrefundable U.S.$35 application fee if submitted via www.scad.edu/apply; U.S.$70 application fee if submitted in paper form. Applicants denied admission to SCAD as degree- seeking students may or may not be eligible for enrollment as nondegree-seeking students. Performance in courses taken as a nondegree-seeking student does not automatically qualify an applicant for admission as a degree-seeking student. Nondegree- seeking students who wish to become degree seeking must reapply to SCAD (application fee is required) and fulfill the application requirements in effect for degree-seeking students. Nondegree-seeking students are not eligible for financial aid or scholarships, but they may reside in SCAD housing on a space- available basis. The administrative unit responsible for nondegree- seeking admission decisions is the Admission Review Committee. I-20s cannot be issued to international students who are


nondegree seeking. All students for whom English is not their first language must pass an English proficiency test before being allowed to enroll in any academic or studio courses at SCAD. These students may be asked to submit TOEFL or other English proficiency documentation and may be required to enroll in and successfully complete English as a Second Language coursework before being allowed to register for academic or studio courses.


Transient Enrollment for transient students is on a space-available basis and has been established for individuals who, while enrolled in another college or university, would like to enroll for one quarter at SCAD. Transient applicants must submit an application for admission, a nonrefundable U.S.$35 application fee if submitted via www.scad.edu/apply U.S.$70 application fee if submitted in paper form), a résumé and a letter of good standing from their college or university that indicates permission to take specific courses. International students wishing to be transient must be granted exemption from English as a Second Language coursework. Applicants denied admission to SCAD as degree- seeking students may or may not be eligible for enrollment as
