4. Can I transfer after Genesee Community College?
   Yes, we will help you to transfer to the college of your choice following Genesee Community College. However we make no guarantees concerning what college will accept you.
5. What is the deadline to apply?
   Genesee Community College does not have a specific deadline to apply, however because you will need to make an appointment with your Embassy, make flight arrangements, and reserve a dorm room I suggest you start sending me information 6 months before the start of the semester you are interested in. That way if there is anything that needs to be updated for your file or if the information you have sent is not correct (i.e. bank statement); there will be time for you to mail these things to us. (mail time could take 2-6 weeks)
6. Why are the costs what they are for the amount needed to be seen on the bank statement?
   These are amounts required by the state (not us) that tell us you will have more than enough money to live once you arrive here. We want you to be more than prepared for any necessities you may need.
7. Is there any financial aid available for international students.
   No.
8. Are there scholarships available?
   There is something for students through the art department, please contact them for more information.
