How to transfer with international records
Transfer applicants with international records are considered using the same admission requirements and are included in the same selection process as all transfer applicants. If you attended both international and U.S. colleges or universities, both your international and U.S. courses and grades are considered. You also may need to demonstrate English proficiency.
International academic records

Obtain and work from original academic records for each institution you attended. Each UC campus鈥 international admissions specialist evaluates your international records and determines transfer credit.
Do not convert international grades to United States grades, use a credential evaluation service or the evaluation of another institution on your application. Report your grades in your application if they appear as numbers, words or characters. Abbreviate the grades, if there is not enough space to write them out and include an explanation in the 鈥淎dditional Academic Comments鈥 section of your application.
How to meet English composition coursework requirements
One of the admission requirements for all transfer students is completion of two transferable courses in English composition with letter grades of C or better. If you apply to transfer directly from an international college or university where English is not the language of instruction, it is very unlikely that any of your English courses will transfer to 麻豆传媒. However, we strongly encourage you to take as much English as your curriculum allows. You need to demonstrate your English proficiency with an approved exam, if English is not the primary language of instruction at your school. Visit the exams and visas page for more information.
