Freshman Applicants

Transfer Applicants

Transfer Applicants from Universities Outside of the United States

Both Secondary and Post-Secondary transcripts will be used to determine general admissibility. A student’s overall academic performance will be taken into consideration. Students whose post-secondary transcripts fail to show a satisfactory performance on the College level may be considered if their Secondary transcripts were of outstanding caliber.

Transfer Credit  

International students who have been accepted to Crown College who wish to transfer credit from colleges or universities outside the United States must provide Crown College with a transcript evaluation from EEI (Education Evaluators International, Inc. - www.educei.com) The form for completing the transcript evaluation can be downloaded at www.educei.com/images/EEI_Application_Form.pdf.  This process should be started as soon as the student receives his or her visa. The costs of the evaluation will be reimbursed by Crown College as long as the transfer evaluation is completed by the end of the student’s first semester. If the transfer evaluation is not completed by the end of the first semester, the student will be responsible for the entire cost of the evaluation. The cost of the evaluation will be $205.00 U.S.

If a student has already completed a course-by-course evaluation from another National Association of Credential Evaluation Services - www.naces.org (NACES) member, he or she can submit this evaluation to the Crown College Registrar’s Office.

Students may choose to complete the EEI evaluation as they apply. If the EEI evaluation is not done during the application process, students will be admitted as transfer students and will be given 3 years for a program length on their I-20. Class standing will be determined once Crown College has received the EEI evaluation. The sooner an EEI transcript evaluation has been completed, the sooner your academic advisor will have a proper understanding of what courses will transfer to Crown College and how those courses will be applied to your degree.

Transfer Applicants from US Colleges and Universities

International students in this category must meet the same criteria as our U.S. Transfer Students. Students must have an accumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher. Students who have earned less than 34 credits will need to supply Crown College with official secondary transcripts, as well. Courses that are not considered “college level” courses (such as English as a Second Language) will not be included in the accumulative GPA when determining admissibility. Students transferring from a U.S. college or university who also possess credits from an institution outside of the United States will need to follow the credit evaluation guidelines outlined in the above section.
