2. Submit Academic Documentation

   Freshman applicants or students who have just graduated from high school must submit complete secondary school transcripts or mark sheets and copies of any certificates or diplomas awarded. All foreign language transcripts must be translated into English.

   Transfer applicants or students who have completed some college/university course work must submit official college/university transcripts for each institution attended, both in their native language and translated into English, along with any certificates or diplomas awarded.

   Any credits earned at a university outside the U.S. that a student wants to transfer to George Fox must be evaluated by one of our approved transcript evaluation partners. Transfer credit can be considered for each course in which a student has received a grade of "C" or better. We encourage you to submit the course description at the time of application so we can begin our evaluation process as quickly as possible. However, please note that not all of your foreign credits can be transferred, and some courses may not apply toward your degree program requirements at George Fox.
