This number will be used in place of the U.S. Social Security number. Once the applicant has been admitted to SPJC and into a degree program and all the other forms have been submitted and approved, SPJC will issue a properly executed I-20AB to the applicant. At least six weeks prior to the beginning of a semester all the essential forms and requirements should be completed and returned to SPJC admissions office. The six weeks is necessary for processing at SPJC, the time for the student to receive the papers in the mail and time for the student to work with the U.S. Embassy. This is to ensure the applicant's arrival in this local area three to four weeks prior to the start of classes.
Regular testing assures the progression of each student through the four different levels.
Proof of ACT or SAT scores obtained within the last three years is an acceptable substitute. The CPT or CELT may be taken after arriving in the U.S. but before classes start. SPJC's receipt of the official transcripts from both secondary and college-level institutions, including subjects taken, marks earned and dates attended, is the responsibility of the applicant. The student must have earned at least the minimum passing marks. Transcripts must be originals, signed by a school official and bearing the seal of the school, or a certified copy of the originals and sent to the admissions office of SPJC as soon as possible.
