For students who want to improve their English skills in the U.S. before enrolling full-time as a Pasadena City College (PCC) student, PCC is partnering with the following English Language Schools to offer conditional admissions.

Students who are seeking conditional admissions first start at one of our partner English Language Schools, and once you have achieved the English level required, you will be admitted as a full-time international student at PCC. Students who are seeking conditional admissions will receive a conditional admission letter from PCC and an explanation of the conditions for enrollment in the future.

Submit the following documents if you would like to be considered for conditional admissions:

1. International Student Application
2. Non-refundable application fee of $50
3. Mail or email the following supporting documents
   1. Academic transcripts or records of the last school attended.
      1. If high school was the last school attended, you must submit high school transcripts only.

After I Apply

After your language school of choice submits an application packet for you to PCC, the International Student Center will issue an admissions decision within 14 business days.

An advisor may reach out to you during this time if your documents are not complete or if they have additional questions regarding your application.

Please work with your language school of choice to receive your language admissions letter and Form I-20 from them. You will not get an I-20 from PCC until you transfer to us as a full-time student, which is once you achieve the level of English required for full-time admission at PCC.
