Common Applications are available from high school guidance offices. The College welcomes cultural and linguistic diversity, but has no English as a Second Language or other remedial programs for foreign students. An information guide and preliminary application are sent to international students who are currently attending an American high school or college. The application deadline for students studying outside of the U.S. is December 15. Candidates for whom English is a second language must submit evidence of fluency in English in addition to completing all regular admissions requirements.
Financial aid is provided to only a few new foreign citizens each year.
Admission To Transfer Standing Students are considered for transfer standing if they will have completed the equivalent of at least one year's full-time college work at the time of enrollment at Pomona College. All transfer students must spend a minimum of four semesters in full time regular standing at Pomona in order to receive the B.A. degree. In evaluating transfer applications, the Admissions Committee places considerable weight on the nature and quality of the previous college record and its compatibility with Pomona's general education program. Credit granted for work taken in other institutions will be determined by the Academic Procedures Committee after the candidate has been admitted. Pomona faculty members may be consulted on the question of course comparability and the candidate may be asked to submit catalogue course descriptions, syllabi, and reading lists in addition to complete transcripts.
