International Transfers Student Checklist

For admission purposes, applicants are considered an international student if they are not a citizen or permanent resident of the United States, and they plan to attend the University in a valid non-immigrant visa status (F-1, J-1, E-2, H-4 visas as well as others). Review the checklist of required application items and don’t miss any important dates.

Checklist for International Transfer Students

• Transfer Application
• Official secondary school records (this is required if you have less than 26 semester, or 39 quarter credit hours)
• Official college or university transcript(s)
  • We require official transcripts from every institute, college, university, or post-secondary school you have attended or are currently attending.
  • English proficiency exam
    • Non-native English speakers who will complete 1 year (2 semesters or 3 quarters) of university-level coursework that includes 1 semester (or 2 quarters) of writing and composition may be waived from the English proficiency requirement.
