Admission and Registration:

Admission

Language Screening
1. TOEFL: As a rough guide, students appropriate for ACC would likely have the following test scores:

2. Phone Interview: If you have already been accepted to Carnegie Mellon and have TOEFL scores in the above range, contact ICC for a brief conversation to verify that ACC is appropriate. You can either:

• Call ICC between 9:00am - 5:00pm, Monday through Friday to arrange an interview (412-268-4979), or
• Send email to request an interview. Include a phone number and the preferred date and time during which we can call you.

  Note: if you have already had a pre-admission interview with the ICC, you do not need an additional interview. Simply email ICC to ask if ACC would be appropriate.

Registration

Registering for ACC is a very quick process. If your interview indicates ACC is appropriate for you, we will send you an email registration form which you should fill out and return by email.

Registration Deadline:
Ideally students register by the middle of April.

Federal legislation has greatly changed the process for entry into the US. It may take several months for some students to complete the process required for getting an I-20 and visa for the US, so plan accordingly.

Students attending ACC must have an I-20 issued by Carnegie Mellon with a start date of June 26, 2009.

NOTE: Students are able to enter the US 30 days prior to that date.

After a student has registered for ACC, we will send his/her name to the Office of International Education requesting that this student's I-20 be issued with a start date of June 26.

Be sure to let your academic department know that you are going to attend ACC.

If you have already received an I-20 from Carnegie Mellon with a start date of August 24, you will need to return that I-20 and have a new one issued in order to attend ACC. If you have already gotten your visa, you will have to reapply for the visa.
