Most universities have a link to admission info on their web site. I
found this on my university's web site:
http://www.admission.swt.edu/_undergrad/Internat/home.htm
International students must pass the TOEFL. If the student is a
resident alien, then they must meet the same requirements as other
entering students.
I would suggest that you have the students research the information on
the web or by calling/writing the university of their choice. The
university addresses can be located in any library. All universities
will send out a catalog and a letter from an admissions officer. Once
you get a name, the students can call and ask specifics. Minority
recruitment is a hot topic these days, so I think the students will
find help more readily than before.
As far as algebra or pre-algebra, it can be taken at a community
college even if the student is enrolled in a 4-year college.
Good luck to you as you facilitate these students in their quest for a
college education.
