SRJC will accept any of the following test scores to meet the proof of English proficiency requirement for international students: 

Intensive English Language Program

SRJC has partnered with several English language programs to prepare students for undergraduate study. If your goal is to attend SRJC, but you haven’t met the English language proficiency requirement, don't worry! You can begin your studies in the U.S. at one of our partner language programs, complete the required level, and then transfer directly to SRJC to begin your academic program.

Prior Education in a Foreign Country

English proficiency can also be demonstrated by meeting one of the following conditions as indicated on your academic transcripts or on a letter from your school on official letterhead:

• Earned a high school diploma or studied for a minimum of 3 years in a country where English is the only official language (see list).
• Earned a high school diploma or studied for a minimum of 3 years at an international school or similar where English is the principal language of instruction.
• Completed all years of study at a school in Singapore with grades of “C” or higher.
• Completed all years of study at a school in Scandinavian countries and received grades of A, B, or C in English 5 and 6.

In accordance with F-1 visa regulations, international applicants must provide evidence of sufficient financial resources to live and study in the U.S. for the first year of their academic program.

Investment accounts, retirement funds, pensions, tax returns, lines of credit, employment letters, and/or life insurance polices are not acceptable. Business accounts are only acceptable with proof of ownership. If you will receive free room/board from a local sponsor, only $18,605 is required, along with a signed Declaration of Sponsor Support. 
• Currency - If the currency is not displayed, we will assume the national currency according to whatever country is listed on the bank or account holder's address.

Proof of high school graduation is required for applicants who will be under 18 years of age* when classes begin. Upload a copy of your diploma or unofficial transcripts listing the date of completion. Transcripts can also be used to demonstrate English proficiency (see above). SRJC does not have a minimum GPA for admission, nor do we require SAT scores. If you have completed any undergraduate coursework at another college/university and you would like it be considered for transfer credit at SRJC, this cannot be requested until your admission is complete and you are enrolled in classes at SRJC.
