1. Online application.

Applicants are required to submit an official credential evaluation for a fee as part of their application, i.e. SpanTran or WES (World Education Service). This fee would be paid by the applicant directly to SpanTran or WES. Franciscan University will accept a Course-by-Course Evaluation/Report. A Course-by-Course evaluation identifies and describes each diploma or certificate, indicates the periods of education, provides an equivalency for each document, lists all courses (subjects) with U.S. semester credits, and gives a grade point average (GPA) on a 4.0 scale.
