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.
-
ECE (Educational Credential Evaluators): 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 an unofficial English translation. For more information about transcript evaluation, contact ECE at www.ece.org.
- WES (World Education Services): 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 certified English translation. For more information about transcript evaluation, contact WES at www.wes.org.
- If the degree was from an American institution request the transcripts to be sent directly to Lindenwood University. If graduate level credits have been received from an American institution have the transcripts sent directly to Lindenwood University
Notes: (1) Students must request a course-by-course evaluation (not a document-by-document evaluation) in order to transfer credit to Lindenwood for particular coursework. (2) The cost for the evaluation of international transcripts will be incurred by the applicant.
- The SEVIS transfer eligibility form (found on the Lindenwood University website on the transfer international graduate students homepage) along with the letter of acceptance from Lindenwood University should be sent to the appropriate official at the school the student previously attended, where it will be processed and returned to the Lindenwood University Office of Admissions & Services for International Students (OASIS).
- The student’s transfer will not be considered complete until Lindenwood University 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.
The SEVIS transfer eligibility form should be sent to the Office of Admissions & Services for International Students (OASIS) direct email account, internationaladmissions@lindenwood.edu.
