Transfer Students

To be considered for admission to Guilford College, international students must submit:

  • The Common Application, but you will also need to complete our Common Application Supplement Form.
  • Official transcripts of your tertiary academic work from each college or university attended. Guilford College requires properly certified English translations of transcripts for review. Transcripts must be verified by World Education Services (WES)
  • Provide a complete and true Certificate of Finances (COF). We encourage you to reference the COF Instructions. U.S. Immigration requires that all international students submit a Certificate of Finances indicating ability to cover their educational costs prior to issuance of the I-20 document used to secure a student visa
  • One or more letters of recommendation are recommended but not required for admission evaluation
  • A personal essay that explains why you want to attend Guilford College
  • The Visa Clearance Form
  • If you have completed less than one full year (or 30 semester hours) at a University, please also submit transcripts of all academic coursework to date, including certificates of completion, external examination results and/or diplomas
  • If you have attended a college or University in the United States and plan to attend Guilford College, please submit a complete Dean of Students form
  • A TOEFL or IELTS score report. Although you do not need to be proficient in English for admission to Guilford College, we urge you to submit your scores on the TOEFL or IELTS if you have taken them. We will use the score for placement purposes and can offer intensive English classes if you need them. There are other ways to be exempt from English remediation. See the Demonstrating English Proficiency section for further information
