D. Credits from International Schools

1. For consideration of transfer credit, official transcripts accompanied by English translation are required. Credits earned outside the United States must have a detailed course-by-course evaluation prior to admissions completed by a credential evaluation agency participating member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). Course descriptions or syllabi (in English) are required to determine transfer acceptance equivalent to UIW courses.
2. English credit will not be awarded for courses completed in non-English speaking countries. Students may take CLEP or departmental challenge examinations to validate these credits. Such courses may be considered for meeting the foreign language area of the degree plan and the hours for this area will be waived.
3. Credit from international sister institutions with which the University has documented articulation agreements will receive special consideration.
