The English Language Academy is an intensive English as a Second Language program offered throughout the year.  Sessions are held in February, April, June, August and October.  Each session is eight weeks in length and consists of 24 hours per week of instruction.  Students who successfully complete this program with a TOEFL score of 450 are guaranteed an automatic transfer into the college credit programs at Santa Ana College and Santiago Canyon College. To take advantage of the Assured Admission program, the applicant must complete the application process outlined below:

• Complete the English Language Academy application. Send the application and all other required documents to the International Student Center.

• Send the $50.00 non-refundable Academy application fee and $200.00 non-refundable tuition deposit - money order or personal check drawn on a U.S. bank or international bank with a branch in the U.S. - made payable to "RSCCD - International Student Program"

• The RSCCD International Student Center will issue a letter of acceptance to those applicants accepted in the English Language Academy with assured admission to the college. The $200.00 tuition deposit will be required before the I-20 form is issued.

The $200.00 tuition deposit is non-refundable, but will be applied to the student's tuition and will guarantee a place in the Academy session applied for. If a student is unable to attend that session and requests the deposit be transferred to the next Academy session, a new I-20 will be issued. The deposit will not, however, be transferred if the student fails to enroll in the second session admitted to.
