WJU welcomes transfer students regardless of the number
of units completed at other accredited colleges and
universities. A “transfer” student is defined as a high school
graduate who then attends college following the summer of
graduation. Applicants who have completed more than 24
solid academic semester units at the time of application will
have their admission evaluation done primarily on the basis
of college work. On the other hand, if you have completed
less than 24 solid academic semester units at the time of
application, your admission evaluation will be done primarily
on the basis of your final high school transcript, SAT/ACT
scores and completed college work. Note: the coursework
considered for admission may differ from what coursework
is actually transferable. In most cases, a transfer student will
transfer in more semester units than were used for the
admission decision. Visit our website, or contact the
Traditional Undergraduate Admission Office or Registrar’s
Office to obtain a copy of a community college general
education articulation of coursework to help you register for
the proper classes.
International Student
William Jessup University is approved by the U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services for the admission of
foreign students. International students play an important
role in enhancing the cross cultural experience of the
student body.
There are specific entrance requirements and procedures for
international student applicants that may differ from an
applicant who is a U.S. Citizen. The strength of the highschool
equivalent program, the record of academic aptitude
demonstrated by SAT or ACT results, the TOEFL results and
questions on the application are important in determining
admission. WJU applicants who submit academic records
for coursework taken outside the United States must submit
those records to any credential evaluator approved by the
National Association of Credential Evaluation Services
(NACES). To view a list of approved service providers, visit
www.edupass.org/admissions/evaluation. The student is
responsible for paying the credential evaluation and
translation fees.
Carefully consider the following:
• The TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)
exam is required of all international students and must
be taken before acceptance to the university is granted.
NOTE: You can be exempt from taking the TOEFL if you
have completed at least 4 years of full-time study at a
secondary or post-secondary level in which English was
the language of instruction, and can provide a letter
from the institution stating English is the primary
language of instruction. If this is the case, then you
must submit the SAT or ACT instead, unless you are a
college transfer with greater than 24 academic solid
semester units completed.
On the TOEFL exam the minimum score requirement is
a 500 on the paper-based test, a 173 on the computerbased
test or a 61 on the internet based test (iBT).
