Additional Application Procedures for Canadian Students
Canadian students are welcome to apply to Providence Christian College and should begin the admissions process well in advance of their start date. In addition to the documents cited above, Canadian students will also be asked to provide the following information in order to complete their paperwork for the I-20 (Certificate of Eligibility for Non-immigrant Student Status – For Academic and Language Student).
1. Student Data Form for SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System)
2. Financial Resources Statement and Scholarship with official documentation
In order to study in the United States, most non-U.S. citizens will need an I-20. The process for obtaining it begins after the student has been admitted by Providence. In addition to other visa requirements, Canadian students must show evidence of sufficient funds for tuition and living expenses during the period of intended study, as well as evidence of strong ties abroad.
Testing Information
Prospective first-year students are advised to take the American College Test (ACT) or Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) during the spring semester of their junior year or in the fall of their senior year. Registration for these tests takes place at least one month prior to the testing dates.
Both tests are given several times each year, and registration forms are generally available from high school principals and counselors. Register online for the ACT or request individual registration by mail packets from the American College Testing Program at www.act.org. Register online for the SAT at www.collegeboard.com. The Classic Learning Test (CLT) offers an alternative to the SAT and ACT and is also acceptable for admission to Providence. More information and registration can be found at www.cltexam.com.
