To be accepted as an international student at San Diego City College, you must be able to speak, read, write, and understand English at a level that will allow you to successfully complete college work. To verify your level, we require that you pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 500. This requirement is waived if you completed a college level English composition course in the United States, or if you come from a country that has English as the primary language in its educational system.

Students must request that the TOEFL office send the scores directly to San Diego City College, Code number 4681 PRIOR TO THE STATED APPLICATION DEADLINES.
