International applicants must comply with all regulations of the Immigration and Naturalization Service as well as with applicable policy of Board of Regents of the University of Hawai‘i and the policies of Maui Community College. For purposes of clarifying requirements for admission, international students who are not U.S. citizens and who have not been admitted to live in the U.S. permanently are designated as non-immigrants. MCC is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant alien students. Contact Admission & Records for rules and regulations and admission requirements.
In addition to the two general admission documents required for all students, international students must:
Complete the International Student Supplementary Information form. Current bank statements and financial aid award letters must accompany the Supplementary Information form.
Take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) if from a non-English speaking country and achieve a score of 450 minimum. This test, developed and administered by the Educational Testing Service, is given at international testing centers. Results should be received by the College. Students may schedule by phone, fax, or by mail.

Have a doctor complete the confidential health form which presents evidence of good health, including a satisfactory chest x-ray taken within a three-month period prior to registration. In compliance with public health regulations, new students prior to enrollment must show evidence that they are free of active tuberculosis, and measles, mumps, and rubella. MCC complies with all applicable requirements of other State health agencies and councils as may be required by law or by rules and regulations.
Demonstrate proof of enrollment in a health and accident insurance plan before being permitted to enroll. The intent of this requirement is to protect international students against the high cost of unanticipated health care expenses resulting from accidents or illness. The average cost per year is approximately $500. More information is available from Admission & Records or Student Activities.
Submit a complete and certified English translation of your high school transcript.
International students are required to take a full course load (a minimum of 12 credit hours a semester toward their program).
Individuals from foreign countries who reside in the State of Hawai‘i and who wish to be accepted as students at the College (and who seek a student visa) should obtain additional information from the Registrar’s Office.
Arrangements for housing must be made prior to arrival, as the College does not guarantee a space in its housing facility. Information for on-campus and off-campus housing is available through the Dormitory Resident Manager. See section on Student Housing.
