Students who have previously attended a post-secondary institution, including colleges or universities outside the United States, are considered transfer students. Transfer students must also submit official high school documents.*
Students who attended a university outside the United States are required to submit their foreign academic transcripts with an American Translators Association (ATA) certified English translation (only required when official transcripts are not in English), and the accompanying commercial evaluation.
The commercial evaluation is required if the student is applying for a bachelor’s degree, or if the person wishes to get transfer credit for past coursework from a university outside the United States. Foreign academic transcripts must be commercially evaluated by a current member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES).
The student is responsible for evaluation fees and there is no guarantee that coursework will transfer.
Official transcripts, translations and commercial evaluations should show that there is no coursework in progress. Submit the documents for all colleges and universities attended using one of the formats below:
North Campus has a drop box located outside of the front door at building 46 on the 2nd floor.
Official transcripts that are received/dropped must be official and in a sealed envelope.
PLEASE NOTE: International students who choose to opt out of the commercial evaluation will not be reimbursed for any courses taken at Broward College that are equivalent to courses taken at a previous university. The foreign academic transcripts and the English translation from a certified ATA English translator, if applicable, are still required during the application process. Even if the student chooses to opt out of the commercial evaluation.Visit one of our offices or request info online.
