Students who want to transfer to UNK for undergraduate programs must complete the admission process PLUS the transfer process that best fits your situation:
The following is required for all transfer students:
Email intladmin@unk.edu for information regarding transfer and complete the F-1 & J-1 Transfer Verification Form.
Inform the school you are currently authorized to attend of your intention to transfer. Give your current International Student advisor the date you want to be “released” in the SEVIS system from your current school. If you are working on campus or have other obligations to your current school, you can not to be released until these steps are completed:
Students who attended a foreign university or college and who wish to have their credits considered for transfer to UNK, must provide to the UNK Office of Student Records and Registration:
The Office of Student Records and Registration will work with appropriate academic departments to evaluate credits for transfer when all documentation has been submitted. Evaluations will only be done for students who have been fully admitted into a degree seeking program at UNK.
The UNK Office of Student Records and Registration works with international students who have previous university-level coursework they wish to transfer to UNK. In order to begin the transfer process and have the credit considered for approval, the student must provide an evaluation from a professional evaluation agency. SRR still needs to have an official transcript but having an evaluation from an approved agency allows them to focus on applying the credits to the UNK program and the whole process can be completed much sooner.
Due to the extensive time required to complete a full evaluation, SRR does not provide credit evaluations to students until they have been accepted for admission to UNK. With a completed professional credential evaluation however, SRR can review the findings and send you a evaluation summary of what you can expect to receive in transfer credits at UNK within a couple weeks. A full evaluation may require the student to provide course descriptions in English.
SRR accepts evaluations from any of the NACES approved agencies. Please check the following website for a list of approved evaluation agencies www.naces.org (select Current Members link). You will also find contact information at this website for all of the approved agencies.
