Evidence of English Language Proficiency
Applicants whose language of instruction is not English must demonstrate sufficient preparation in the English language.
Standardized test scores, such as the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) are useful in assessing a student’s language capability. A minimum score of 563 on the paper based TOEFL, 223 on the computer based TOEFL exam, or 85 on the TOEFL iBT exam or a score of 6.5 on the IELTS is required. John Cabot University offers an internal English Proficiency exam which may be taken by students in place of the TOEFL or IELTS.
The University operates on a rolling admissions basis and considers each application as soon as all necessary materials are received. Candidates are urged to submit their application and supporting documents early to guarantee a place at the University and to allow sufficient time for passport and visa processing.

Completed applications are processed within two weeks of the time they are received and the applicant is notified via email and regular mail of the Admissions Committee’s decision. Applications will not be considered until all supporting materials have been received.
If the English proficiency of any applicant is in question, the Admissions Committee will request additional information or documentation. Students who otherwise meet the entrance requirements of the University but who lack sufficient preparation in written and spoken English may be eligible to enter the University’s ENLUS Program, an intensive English language course which prepares students for study at the university level.
Upon acceptance to the University, new students will be required to forward a non-refundable Tuition Deposit of $500/€500 to confirm their intention to attend the University. This deposit will be deducted from the final tuition payment.
Application materials may be obtained by contacting the Admissions Office (admissions@johncabot.edu) or our US Office (usoffice@johncabot.edu).

Candidates are responsible for ensuring that the completed application and all supporting materials reach the University in time (preferably two months before the start of the term) for the Admissions Committee to review the application and make a final decision. Non-European applicants should allow sufficient time for the processing of their student visas by the Italian consulate in their area of residence.
