Students who have earned college-level course credits in a foreign country comparable to the course credits in the American University System, must transfer those credits to Lindenwood University. Foreign transcripts (unless otherwise permitted by the International Student Center), must be evaluated prior to being accepted by Lindenwood University.

For transcript evaluation, a student must submit their transcript, along with an English translation to:

World Education Services, Inc. (WES)

Students may obtain an application for evaluation of transcripts through World Education Services or by requesting one directly from the WES address and phone number listed above.

Select the Basic Course-by-Course evaluation when completing the online application. Please be sure to list Lindenwood University as a recipient so we may view the evaluation progress online.

The process of Transcript Evaluation must be made as soon as possible after submitting an application for admission to Lindenwood University so that results will be received in time for class registration.

Upon receipt of the evaluation of transcripts from World Education Services, Lindenwood University will determine which credits will be applied toward a degree.

The cost for the evaluation will be incurred by the applicant. However, once the applicant obtains a visa and arrives at Lindenwood University, the cost of the evaluation will be refunded, provided that the application brings in the receipt for the evaluation service.

**Students must adhere to the above procedures in order to receive credit for previous college work, and in order to be eligible for Lindenwood University Athletics!!**
