Advanced International Transfer Credits

The presentation found on this page on advanced international transfer credits is aimed towards advisors who examine or evaluate foreign university transfer credits or who want to make sense of private evaluation company decisions. Admissions officers, study abroad advisors, community colleges, and recruiters can quickly and easily learn the basics of these complex foreign transfer credits.

This training is the third training in an ongoing series of practical application for working with international credentials. Previous sessions were on Secondary Credentials for Freshman Admissions and International Transfer Credits 101.

This training module will focus on more complex international transfer credit issues such as International Baccalaureate diplomas and certificates, ECTS transfer credits, 5-year programs from Taiwan, specific programs from India, Canadian three-year degrees, German Abitur, French coefficients, and more.

As more students study abroad and as a growing number of international students seek higher education in the United States, all international education officers require the basic skills and tools to understand what to do with international transfer credits.
