Students requesting
credit for such coursework must first apply for admission to GC
and enroll in courses. To receive transfer credit from foreign
institutions, students must bring an official copy of their college
transcript and a certification and translation report from WES,
AACRAO, or FCSA to the GC Admissions Office. Certification and
translation services other than WES, AACRAO, or FCSA will not be
accepted. The cost for certification and translation must be paid
by the student.
In cases where course titles and credits do not match GC
courses exactly, copies of course syllabi and course descriptions
from the foreign institution will be required before the course
will be considered for transfer. Students will need to provide
copies of these materials, translated into English, upon request
from GC.
When students provide their transcripts, the report from WES,
AACRAO, or FCSA, and any course descriptions and syllabi to GC in
a timely manner, the Admissions office will determine the total
number of semester transfer credits by the end of the first
semester of enrollment at GC. To avoid additional costs and delays
in posting information, students are encouraged acquire these
materials promptly. Grayson College does not accept foreign
coursework for courses in English and speech.
Students applying for admission to select programs such as
nursing and other health sciences areas should submit a copy of
their college transcript along with a copy of the certification and
translation report from WES, AACRAO, or FCSA. In addition, students
should be prepared to provide copies of course descriptions and
course syllabus materials translated into English. The cost of the
certification and translation must be paid by the student. Health
Sciences departments will analyze these materials once the
necessary information is provided by the student.
For the purpose of the Texas Success Initiative, students who
have completed the equivalent of a U.S. associates or bachelors
degree from an accredited college or university outside the United
States are exempt from placement testing. In order to receive this
exemption, students must present a certified, translated copy of
their foreign credential, which must be completed by WES, AACRAO,
or FCSA along with an official college transcript.
Foreign students who have not completed a degree are required to
assess on THEA or Compass before enrolling in courses that lead to
an associate degree. Students enrolling in certificate programs
must complete the required placement testing for the certificate
they are seeking.
Process:
Once the GC Admissions and Records Office receives the copy of
the foreign transcript and coursework certification and translation
from one of the companies above, the materials will be processed by
the counseling office for students who are currently enrolled at
GC. Students will be notified of courses for which they will need
to bring course syllabi and course descriptions for further
determination of credits. Instructional departments will make the
final determination on transfer questions once course syllabi and
descriptions are received. The Records Office will post transfer
work once a final determination has been made in conjunction with
counseling and appropriate instructional departments.
Foreign Credential Evaulations are only accepted by GC
