Prairie State College encourages applications from international students. By immigration law, foreign students must attend classes on a full-time basis. A minimum of 12 semester credit hours in the fall and spring semesters is required. All foreign students, except those from countries whose national language is English, must take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) exam, which is given at American Consulates in many countries. You need a minimum TOEFL score of 500 (if paper -based), or 173 (if computer based) to be accepted at PSC.

As PSC is a commuter community college, there is no on-campus housing. Students may choose to live in an apartment or with a host family. More information on housing opportunities is included with application materials.
