Transfer

Use the DePaul application.  

Official transcripts from all U.S. accredited colleges and universities you have attended-regardless of the amount of credit earned or grades.

What to Submit:

Course-by Course Evaluation - Applicants with international university credit (regardless of the amount of credit earned or grades) will be required to complete a course-by-course evaluation by one of the following evaluation companies:

• Educational Perspectives
• Educational Credential Evaluators
• One Earth International Credential Evaluations

You will need to fill out the evaluation company's online application, pay the evaluation fee and submit all required educational credentials as described on their website.

International Transfer Partner Institutions - Applicants enrolled at a partner institution that have a current transfer articulation agreement with DePaul will only need to submit a transcript from the institution.  A course-by-course evaluation is not required.  For a list of international transfer partner institutions, please review the Transfer Agreements webpage.

How to Submit:

The evaluation company will send your completed course-by-course evaluation, university transcripts, and translations to International Admission to be added to your application.

Transcripts from Transfer Partner Institutions can be either emailed to us at international@depaul.edu or mailed to:

Important Note: 

Please be aware that if you are admitted, you may be asked by the Transfer Articulation Center (TrAC) to provide official course descriptions and/or course syllabi of your international university credit with official word-for-word English translations stamped by the translation service.  If requested, please submit these items directly to TrAC at trac@depaul.edu.

Reminders:

If you are admitted based on unofficial credentials, you must submit official transcripts in order to enroll.

If you bring your original documents to the International Admission office, photocopies can be made and the original documents can be returned immediately during the visit.

Unless specifically requested back at the time of submission, all documents become property of DePaul University and will not be returned at a later date.
