Info

admissions Admissions Tour and Campus Interviews All applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the Admissions Offi ce for a campus tour or for an individual meeting with an admissions representative. The primary purpose of the visit is to give the applicant a fi rsthand look at the college and to have the opportunity to seek additional informa tion about any aspect of the college. New England Student Regional Program - Non-Resident Applicants Central Maine Community College is a participating college in the New England Board of Higher Education’s Regional Stu dent Program (RSP). As such, non-resi dent students are eligible for special tuition rates of 150% of the in-state tuition rate when the RSP participant pursues a degree program not offered by their home state public institutions. To be considered, applicants must clearly indicate on the Central Maine Community College applica tion form that they wish to participate in the New England Regional Student Program. Rules Governing Residence The College’s Director of Finance shall determine at the time a student is admitted whether he/she is a resident or non-resi dent for tuition purposes, based on infor mation furnished in the student’s application and on other relevant consider ations. Students, once having registered as a non-resident, can claim resident status only after they have resided in the state for a least one-year prior to registration for the term during which they claim resident sta tus. For College purposes, students do not acquire a bona fi de domicile in Maine until they have lived here for at least a year, pri marily as a permanent resident and not merely as a student. Resident status implies a probability that a student will remain in Maine after completing college. Members of the Armed Forces and their dependents are normally granted resident tuition rates while on active duty within the state. The domicile of unmarried minors generally follows that of their parents or legally appointed guardian. Students who are married or who have attained their eighteenth birthday are considered adults, and will be classifi ed as Maine residents if they have lived for the past 12 consecutive months in the state. If a non-resident stu dent has a spouse who is a resident of Maine, the student will also be classified as a resident. Students who wish to change their status should complete a “Request for Change of Resident Status” form and sub mit it to the Business Office. A student may appeal the Director of Finance’s decision first to the College President, then to the President of the Maine Community College System, whose decision in all cases will be final. If the Director of Finance receives information indicating that a student’s sta tus should be changed from resident to that of non-resident, the student shall be informed in writing of the proposed change in status and shall be given the opportunity to argue against it. The student may appeal the Director of Finance’s decision as previ ously outlined. No application for change of status will be considered after September 1 for the fall semester or after January 15 for the spring semester. All changes approved during a semester will be effective at the beginning of the next semester; none will be retroactive. Transfer Students In addition to the admission procedures for students with no previous college work, transfer students must submit official college transcripts from all colleges attend ed for both placement and transfer credit purposes before they will be admitted. International Students Central Maine Community College wel comes international students seeking F1 Student Visa status from around the world. As part of the admission process, interna tional students are encouraged to submit TOEFL (iBT, CBT, or PBT) scores to the College in order to determine admission to an academic program. Students need a TOEFL score of 530 (paper version) or 197 (computer version) or 71 (internet based) to be accepted to the college. Additional testing may be necessary. Students without a TOEFL score may arrange to take CMCC’s ESL Accuplacer Placement Assessment from a far. In countries where English is a primary language, stu dents may provide evidence of substantial program coursework in English. International students must provide: • Application for Admission and a non-refundable $20 application fee. • Foreign student financial form indicat ing sufficient funds to meet educational and living expenses for a minimum of program length. • Translated transcripts. • TOEFL score or CMCC Accuplacer Placement Assessment scores.
