International Admissions

International Student Requirements

Before 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ Baptist University can issue travel documentation, international students must complete the admission requirements below.

Step 1

Submit Evaluated Transcripts

International transcripts must be evaluated by a NACES-approved evaluation company.

Common evaluation options

• IEE: Often provides more transfer hours from previous college or university coursework.
• WES: Very thorough, but may take more time to complete.
• INCRED: Required for students participating in WBU athletics.

Which evaluation do I need?

• If you only have a high school or secondary school transcript, request a basic evaluation.
• If you have any university, college, or advanced coursework, request a course-by-course evaluation.

Regardless of evaluation type, students must provide the original transcript, translation, and evaluation. These are commonly known as certified copies and must be requested.

Step 2

Submit Required Admission Documents

The following documents are required to complete admission and gain full acceptance to 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ Baptist University.

• Bank Statement or Affidavit: Must show a balance within the last 6 months. An affidavit must include the bank emblem, account value, and bank official signature.
• English Proficiency Test Result, if required: Duolingo, IELTS, TOEFL-iBT, or PTE. Please list 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÊÓƵ Baptist University as the recipient of the results.
• Passport/Visa: A photo can be uploaded to the WBU application website.

These documents must be submitted before travel documentation can be issued, including the I-20 or consulate letter.

Financial Support Documents

Financial support documents show the cost of attendance and the student’s responsibility for any remaining balances. These documents will be sent by the university.
