Admissions

An international student is a student who is not a citizen or legal permanent resident of the United States. Students applying for admissions from countries other than the United States must submit the required credentials (depending on the country) and examination scores.

Official transcripts, mark sheets, exam results and certificates/diplomas for all secondary coursework in the original language from secondary schools are required. Academic records must have a seal or an original signature. Photocopies are acceptable if they are noted as “CertifiedTrue Copy” and signed by a school official. If records are not in English, the applicant must include a certified English translation of all documents.

A professional evaluation agency must evaluate all international transcripts. We recommend using World Education Services (WES) to complete your evaluation. Visit http://www.wes.org to view which documents are required for each country and to request a Document-by-Document Report. Identify Arkansas Baptist College as a receiving institution at the time of application with WES.

Students must have sufficient financial resources to study at Arkansas Baptist College. The statement should come from a financial institution verifying the amount in US currency on account to be used for the student’s educational and living expenses. The Statement of Financial Support must be on file also with all required admissions documents before the admission application is evaluated.

An applicant who has attended another regionally accredited post- secondary institution in any capacity, regardless if credit is earned, after the completion of high school is a transfer student.

Only grades of “C” and better are accepted for transfer credit. Each transcript is evaluated on its own merit in accordance with its conformity with the program of study at Arkansas Baptist College. Credit transferred is not used in computing the grade point average at Arkansas Baptist College.

Students who are enrolled in another institution may be allowed temporary matriculation at ABC. Transient admission is ordinarily limited to one semester. Transient students must submit an official application for admission and a letter of approval from the registrar certifying that they are currently eligible to return to the parent institution and that they have been granted permission to enroll at ABC for a specified period. The College requires that the letter of approval from the registrar include a list of courses that the student should take while enrolled at ABC.

NOTE: The University reserves the right to modify these requirements.

Students who have previously attended ABC and have not been in attendance for a semester or more require to apply for readmission by the deadline dates listed on the academic calendar for admission.
