Transferring Credit from International Institutions
Students with transfer credit from an international institution must submit official transcripts from the international university attended to the Office of International Students and Scholars. The transcripts must be in their original language and must be accompanied by a certified English translation, provided by the student.
Applicants should contact WES at www.wes.org for more information about how to get transcripts evaluated. Students should list Lindenwood University as the recipient of the transcript evaluation. WES will also provide a copy of the evaluation directly to the applicant. The applicant should keep this copy.
Note: Evaluations or translations of transcripts from companies other than WES are not accepted by the university and will not be considered.
The transcript translation documents will not be returned to the student. The transcript and the translation will become part of the student’s official file at Lindenwood University. If the applicant intends to transfer credits into an undergraduate program, the applicant will incur the initial cost for the evaluation. However, once the applicant obtains a visa and arrives at Lindenwood University, the cost of the evaluation will be refunded up to $160 if the applicant provides the WES payment receipt to the International Student and Scholars Center. For further information regarding the transfer of international credit, please contact the university Office of International Students and Scholars at international@lindenwood.edu.
