International Graduate Semester Transfer Student Application: Transferring Credit from Other U.S. Programs

In addition to submitting the materials required for admission, international students wishing to transfer to Lindenwood from a SEVIS-sponsored school should also submit the following documents. Any and all transcripts must be submitted to Lindenwood University regardless of the credit(s) being transferable or not.

  • Official transcripts from college or university, if the degree was received from an international institution the transcripts and proof of the undergraduate diploma or degree confirmation must be submitted in the student’s native language along with a certified English translation. If the degree was from an American institution have the transcripts sent directly to Lindenwood University. If graduate level credits have been received from an American institution have the transcripts sent directly from the school to Lindenwood University, if the credits were received from an international institution those transcripts will need to be sent to World Evaluation Services (WES).  For more information about transcript evaluation, contact WES at http://www.wes.org.
  • The transfer student application, sent to the appropriate official at the school the student previously attended, where it will be processed and returned to the Lindenwood University-Belleville Office of Admissions.
  • The student’s transfer will not be considered complete until Lindenwood University-Belleville receives the completed transfer paperwork. Once the transfer application has been processed, Lindenwood will issue the student a Lindenwood I-20, permitting the student to legally reside in the U.S. as a full-time international student.
