International StudentsKeiser University is proud of the international character of its student body and welcomes students from other nations. All international students must be fluent in English before they enroll. Applicants are asked to furnish proof that they can read, write and speak English fluently. The University accepts only F-1 visas based upon a student's program of study. International student applicants must meet the following requirements for admission to Keiser University: Successful completion of a baccalaureate degree program that is equivalent to a baccalaureate degree in the United States. (Official records must be evaluated by a member agency of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services http://www.naces.org attesting that completion is equivalent to a baccalaureate degree completed in the United States.) Certification of financial ability to meet tuition and other necessary expenses or ability to qualify for financial aid as an eligible non-citizen. If an applicant’s primary language is not English, the applicant must present a TOEFL® score of 500 or higher on a paper-based examination, a score of 173 on a computer-based examination, an internet-based score (iBT) of 61, or an IELTS™ score of 6.0 or higher. Applications for international students can be obtained through the Admissions Office. Applications should be submitted at least two months prior to the start of a program. English Proficiency Requirements International applicants whose native language is not English are required to submit the results of a test of English proficiency to the Office of International Studies. Students who are exempt from submitting a test of English proficiency are those from Canada (excluding Quebec), Bermuda, the Bahamas, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. Applicants who have previously attended a high school, college or university in the United States for more than two years and have earned passing grades in English courses may be exempt from an English proficiency exam. The following exams are accepted as proof of proficiency in English:
Conditional Admissions Students who are academically prepared to pursue a university program but are unable to meet the minimum English proficiency requirement may apply to the intensive English language program offered by the Keiser ESOL at Keiser University’s Fort Lauderdale Campus. Upon successful completion of ESOL level 4, students may enroll to a degree program and the conditional status shall be removed. English Proficiency Placement Examination Upon matriculation to Keiser University, ALL new international undergraduate and graduate students, except for those who are exempted, will be tested once again for English proficiency during orientation. New international students should not assume that they are exempt from taking this English test even though they have had many years of English education in their home countries or abroad or met the above English proficiency requirements. Transfer of Credit ProceduresThe Associate Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs for Graduate Education evaluates transcripts and determines potential transfer credit granted to students. The following guidelines are used in evaluating transcripts received from other accredited institutions: Official transcripts must be received directly from the former institution within a student’s first semester or no transfer credits are officially granted. Course descriptions from a former institution’s catalog are analyzed and credit is accepted for those successfully completed courses that parallel course content and duration of Keiser University courses. Courses in a student’s major must meet the same general course objectives as Keiser University courses. Only courses with a grade of "B" or higher are considered for transfer credit. Graduate students may transfer no more than six semester credit hours to the graduate program at Keiser University and must meet graduate residency requirements. Transfer from International Institutions Upon receipt of an official transcript, transfer credits from non-U.S. colleges/universities are evaluated and granted on a course equivalency basis. The Associate Vice Chancellor must receive an evaluation of official transcripts by an approved educational evaluator service attesting that the courses are equivalent to courses earned at a regionally accredited institution of higher education in the United States. Transfer credits are granted only for courses in which a grade of “B” or higher was earned (3.0 on a 4.0 scale). Prior to granting transfer of credit for any course, the University reserves the right to test applicants or request that they successfully pass an examination administered by a Keiser University faculty member. Transfer of Credits from Keiser University Students who are interested in continuing their education at an institution other than Keiser University should first make inquiry at the institution they plan to attend to determine credits and requirements needed for entrance to that institution. Transferability of credits is at the discretion of a receiving institution. Keiser University cannot assure transfer of credit. Veteran Transfer of Credits A Veterans Administration benefit recipient has responsibility to report all previous education and training to Keiser University. The University evaluates the information and grants appropriate credit, with training time and tuition reduced proportionally. The veteran student and the Veterans Administration are notified. Policy on Transfer Credit for Military Training and EducationKeiser University provides processes to determine credit awards and learning acquired for specialized military training and occupational experience when applicable to a servicemember’s degree program. Keiser University recognizes and uses the American Council of Education (ACE) Guide for the evaluation of the Joint Services Transcripts (JSTs) educational experiences in the Armed Services in determining the value of learning acquired in military service at levels consistent with ACE Guide recommendations and/or those transcripts by the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF), when applicable to a student’s program. Procedures: The transferring student must accomplish the following: Supply an unofficial military transcript for evaluation during the admissions process Order an official military transcript from their respective branch of service Ensure the official military transcript is provided to Keiser University by the end of the student’s first semester
