All international students must demonstrate at least $29,000 in financial capability, regardless of major or location of study, in order to receive an I-20 from Cambridge College.

Can I defer my attendance after I'm accepted?

• If you cannot attend in the term for which you had initially applied, you may defer your attendance.
• You will need to contact your Admissions Counselor and submit updated proof of financial capability in order to defer your attendance.
• If you are transferring to Cambridge College from another U.S. institution, or if you have already arrived in the U.S. on your Cambridge College I-20, you are ineligible for deferred attendance.

After you are accepted, you will need to:

• Take the Accuplacer placement test.
  • The results of this test in no way affect your acceptance. It simply tells us which classes are best for you to take in your first term.
• Meet your Academic Advisor to discuss which classes you'll take in your first term.
• Get your student ID card.
• Register for classes.
• Attend Academic Orientation.
• Attend New International Student Check-in & Registration.
