• Transfer students who have completed college coursework in the U.S must have completed a transferable English course or have 24 credit hours of credit-bearing academic study at an accredited university to be eligible for an English proficiency waiver.

 

 

Conditional admission is offered to students who are academically qualified but have not met the required English language proficiency requirement at the time of application.

 

Those eligible:

 

• Will receive a conditional admission letter to Woodbury University after a full application review.

• Are required to attend and successfully pass an approved English Language Program (ELP).

 

The student is responsible for additional supporting documentation and fees required by the approved ELP. At any point in the ELP, if the student feels that she/he has reached a sufficient grasp of the English language and wishes to be fully admitted, may opt to demonstrate proficiency via an English proficiency exam from our approved list. The I-20 for conditionally admitted students will be issued by the ELP.

I-20 Checklist

A Form I-20 is generated after an applicant has accepted an offer of admission by submitting a non-refundable commitment deposit along with the following documentation:

• Passport: Submit a copy of applicant’s passport, along with that of any dependent(s) who will apply for (an) F-2 visa(s).
• Bank Statement: Bank statement issued no earlier than six months from enrollment date. Optional at the time of application submission. Financial support must be sufficient to cover student expenses for one full academic year. Bank statements must be original and on letterhead from a checking, savings, or time deposit account. Brokerage (stock funds), real estate, or any other non-liquid assets are not acceptable. All bank statements must be in English and in U.S. dollar currency or foreign equivalents. Affidavits of Support are required for any documents not in the name of the applicant.
• Transfer I-20 Form: The Transfer I-20 Form is required only for applicants who currently are in the United States on F-1 visas granted by other institutions.

Note: Submission of falsified documentation will result in denial of admission or termination of enrollment.
