Applying to College

Transferring
Transferring from one college to another is a fairly simple process, provided all deadlines are met. When transferring foreign academic credits, as always, leave plenty of time to meet deadlines. A translation of credentials might be necessary. In all college transfer situations, the new school might not accept some of the coursework done at the previous school. It is wise to check carefully with each particular school as to what courses they will accept for credit. If you want to transfer credit earned in a foreign university to an American college, bring all the documentation you can find: grade reports, descriptions of courses you took, textbooks you used, etc. Colleges tend to be very bureaucratic, so the more data you present the better your chance of having your previous work accepted for college credit.
