International Students

Applicants must submit a legible copy of their passport and any issued Visa (if applicable).

Students must maintain an enrollment of 12 credits during the spring/fall semester and show evidence of their ability to pay non-resident fees. To confirm this requirement, we ask you to complete this financial certificate which is required to verify that you or your family have sufficient financial resources for personal care, housing, and educational costs.

• Provide high school, college, or university transcripts (in English) demonstrating proof of high school graduation.

Official transcripts must be evaluated and translated into English by a verified evaluation company. 

Classes at Feather River College are conducted in college-level English, requiring students to be proficient in reading, writing, and speaking the language. For this reason, Feather River College requires all F-1 students applying for admission to submit proof of passing an English proficiency exam. 

Your options for testing are:

If an international student completed their high school diploma in the United States, transcripts showing successful completion of high school English (C or better) may be accepted in lieu of an English proficiency test.

Provide documentation confirming that you have purchased student health insurance coverage for your time in the United States.

Provide verification of secured housing during your program of study at Feather River College.

• Dorm agreement or confirmation of a secured spot if planning to live in On-Campus Student Housing
• Lease agreement if planning to live in off-campus housing 

Housing fills quickly on campus. Therefore, if you plan to live in FRC Student Housing, complete the Student Housing Application and License Agreement as soon as possible. 

Once you have been accepted as a student to Feather River College, you can request a FRC Email and Network Account. 

Request a FRC Email and Network Account: Please fill out the “Email and Network Account Request” form. FRC email and network accounts are free for students registered for FRC courses. The account will allow you to access your FRC email, login to Canvas, and it will grant you log-on access to the computers in the labs. After the form has been submitted, accounts typically take two business days to be set up. The time may vary depending on demand. The same “Request” form is used to request a password reset. More information about password resets can be found here.

After you submit all the required documentation, you will receive your FRC ID number via a "Welcome to FRC" email from admissions-records@frc.edu.  Here you will be prompted to "Request a Student Email/FRC network account" (*this request can take a couple of days to process — make sure to check your spam/junk folder)
