International students applying for admission to Abilene Christian
University are given the same consideration as other students, except
that they must also submit scores on the TOEFL or IELTS score and
show evidence of ability to understand and use English sufficiently
well to succeed in their work at ACU. The Center for International and
Intercultural Education issues the 1-20 form and Certificate of
Eligibility to international students admitted to the university.
International applicants must send an official transcript in English
from the high school of graduation and each university previously
attended. To ensure evaluation, the transfer applicant should provide a
catalog and syllabus in English. Documents should be mailed by the
registrar to ACU at the above address.
Transfer Admission
Transfer applicants must submit an official transcript from each
college previously attended and an official high school transcript. To
be official, a transcript labeled "official" by the issuing institution
must be transmitted in a sealed envelope directly from the issuing
institution to the receiving institution. Admitted students who have 65
or more semester hours of transferable college credit are not required
to take the SAT or ACT if they have met all University Requirements
at ACU. They must be in good standing with the college or university
previously attended. Those on suspension at another institution are not
eligible for admission to ACU.
All course work from any institution, completed prior to enrollment
at A C U, will be evaluated according to the following policy or
according to a specific transfer articulation agreement with the prior
institution. How transfer credit is applied toward an ACU
undergraduate degree depends on an evaluation of each course to
determine its comparability in content and semester-hour credit to a
corresponding ACU course or degree requirement. When an accredited
course does not have a comparable equivalent at ACU, the accredited
course is counted as an elective. Accredited transfer courses may be
grouped to meet comparable requirements at ACU.
Grades for transfer courses (outside the intercollegiate agreement) are
not included in the student's GPA at ACU.
To be eligible to graduate with honors (summa, magna, cum laude),
students must have completed 64 hours of courses at ACU.
Transferring Credit
1. Transfer courses with a grade of"C" or higher from regionally
accredited institutions will be posted to the student's ACU record
and may count toward hours in a degree if the credits are
appropriate.
2. Transfer courses will be posted at the same level they were taken
at a previous institution. ACU accepts only courses equivalent or
comparable to courses offered at ACU.
3. ACU does not offer nor accept college credit for
vocational/technical training or for work force
education courses.
4. Evaluation of transfer work intended to meet specific ACU
