Welcome to Southeast. We're happy you are starting your college experience here.

Follow the steps below to apply for admission as an undergraduate transfer student. International applicants who have completed any post-secondary education are considered undergraduate transfer students. We can't wait to see what you do!

STEP 1: COMPILE ALL THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, AND CREATE COPIES OF EACH IN PDF FORMAT

Required application documents include:

  • Official Transcripts 
    • Arrange to have official copies of your academic transcripts sent to Southeast.
    • For transfer students, Southeast requires official transcripts to be received directly from the educational institution before admission decision and transfer credit evaluation can be made. 
    • We cannot accept external evaluations in lieu of transcripts for transfer students. 
    • Review the academic credential standards for transcripts to be official. Academic credential standards for transcripts to be official are detailed on our policies and guidelines page
  • Proof of English proficiency
    • Test scores submitted by applicant are considered unofficial. After applicant is admitted, official test scores must be sent directly from the testing agency by the deadline listed under policies
  • Financial affidavit and proof of finances
    • Web-only applicants are not required to submit proof of finances
    • Submitted financial documents must be dated within one calendar year of intended program start date.
  • Passport copy 
    • Please include valid passport copies for all dependents listed on your application.  
    • Passport must be valid at least six months beyond the intended program start date.  
  • Standardized test scores (Optional for admission) 
    • ACT/SAT scores are not required for admissions, but may be used to qualify for merit-based scholarships and may be used for Math and English course placement.   
    • Submitted copies of test scores are considered unofficial. Test scores must be sent directly from the testing agency to be official.  Scholarship determination and course placement will only occur once official test results have been received from testing agency.  
  • If you are studying in the US, please submit the SEVIS Visa Status Verification Form. This form is a verification of your visa status, and not a request to transfer your SEVIS record to us. Please note that 
Southeast does NOT accept SEVIS record in terminated or completed status.
