International Education Services. The minimum equivalent to a US GPA of 2.00 on a 4.00
scale is required. Official copies of all transcripts must be mailed to Victory University,
Attn: Admissions Office. Transcripts submitted by a student are not acceptable for
admission and are not considered official documents. All international transcripts or
international transcript evaluations must be ordered by the student at the student’s
expense.
For international students transferring in credits from a post-secondary institution, the
following guidelines are provided: Courses from institutions that are regionally accredited
(MSCHE, NEASC-CIHE, NCA-HLC, NWCCU, SACS, WASC-ACSCU), candidates for such
accreditation, or from international institutions with whom Victory University has an
articulation agreement, will be accepted.
Courses from international institutions with whom Victory University does not have an
articulation agreement will be accepted based upon a further review of the issuing institution's
academic standing including recognition by their Ministry of Education or similar governing
authority.
Transfer credit will be assigned based on the course level and content of the course description
that is outlined in the school’s academic catalog. Further consideration might be granted based
on a course syllabus that has been submitted by the student. Non-agreement coursework
which is not in English will need to undergo an evaluation through World Education Services
(WES), located at http://www.wes.org/fees/evaltypes.asp, at the student’s expense, in order
for such transfer credit to be considered.
