Transfer Admissions

International students who are seeking admission as transfer students will need to submit official transcripts in the original language (if other than English) and an English translation.

International colleges and universities must be recognized by the Ministry of Education, Department of Education or other official accrediting body in the country in which the student studied for coursework to be considered for transfer credit.  Coursework completed at technical schools may be eligible for transfer credit.  However, coursework completed at vocational schools is not eligible for transfer credit.

Students who plan to request transfer credit for work completed in foreign universities must have their transcripts evaluated by a professional evaluation service.  The Webber International University faculty will make the final decision regarding transfer credit into the university degree programs.  Webber International University recommends several services that can be contacted through the links provided below. 

TOEFL or completion of English as a Second Language program may be used to satisfy the English proficiency requirements.  Some schools abroad are teaching course work in English.  A student, who has studied in a school where all courses are instructed in the English language, may request waiver of the TOEFL requirement.
