Sixty percent of the international students are degree candidates, while the remainder are on one-year exchanges from our partner universities. All students taking classes live in College residence halls and take their meals in the College dining center. The Center for International Programs , the Office of Admissions , Student Services , the Health Center , and the Career Development Center also advise and counsel international students on subjects ranging from visa and immigration matters to employment and personal issues. Unless they are U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents of the U.S., all students are required to have a visa to enter and remain in the United States. U.S. citizens and permanent residents of the U.S. are eligible for a number of financial aid programs sponsored by the U.S. government.
Classes begin the following week.
Students who have completed one or two years of study at another college or university may apply to be admitted as transfer students. As part of the admissions process the student's previous record will be evaluated for transfer as Kalamazoo College credit.
