If you are admitted as a transfer student into the TDU Intensive English Program, you must submit current, official transcripts from all schools and colleges you have attended, regardless of your length of attendance or whether you believe the credit is transferable.

The ESL Office may make a preliminary evaluation of your application based on the information you provide on your application. However, if you are admitted into the Intensive English Program, the University must receive an official academic record directly from each institution you attended.

Each academic record must list the dates you attended the institution, the titles of courses and exams you completed, the grades (marks) you received, the credit, hours or units earned and any degree or diploma you may have received from that institution.

In the United States, the academic record is called a transcript. It may be called something else— such as leaving certificate, maturity certificate, bachillerato or baccalauréat — in your home country.  Because it may take some time for schools outside the United States to forward your records to the University, try to have legible photocopies of your official foreign academic records available. Do not send transcripts along with your application for admission. After you submit your application, you must send official transcripts to the ESL Office. Official transcripts are required.

The University recognizes that it may be difficult to obtain foreign records in the event of political upheaval or natural disaster; however, these situations are rare. Failure to provide official records will result in a denial of your application for admission to the TDU Intensive English Program.
