Official Transcripts

Regent University’s accrediting agency, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, requires official transcripts. An official transcript is defined as being received by Regent University in a sealed envelope or via direct electronic delivery from the previous educational institution or evaluation agency.

Undergraduate applicants

Applicants interested in pursuing an Associate or Bachelor’s degree program must submit official transcripts from all institutions attended, including high school and any college.

Master’s degree applicants

Applicants interested in pursuing a Master’s degree must submit official transcripts indicating successful completion of a bachelor’s degree program.

Doctoral degree applicants

Applicants interested in pursuing a Doctoral degree must submit official transcripts indicating successful completion of both a bachelor’s and master’s degree program.

Transcript Evaluation Agencies

Regent University requires all transcripts from institutions outside of the United States receive a course-by-course or detailed evaluation from a professional evaluation agency that is either accredited through or who is a member of NACES or NAFSA. All other course-by-course or document level, detailed evaluations will be reviewed on an individual basis. Applicants are responsible for the cost of this evaluation as an application requirement for admission.

Additional information regarding acceptable transcript evaluation agencies may be found by visiting NACES or NAFSA.

Educational systems often vary between different countries. All transcripts (or mark sheets) that are not from an American institution must undergo a professional evaluation. This evaluation will provide an assessment of the U.S. equivalency of the academic credential(s), which will allow us to determine eligibility for admission.

Applicants are responsible for obtaining the transcript evaluation as part of the application requirements. Regent requires a course-by-course evaluation, and the transcript must be converted to the American Grade Point Average system. Transcripts in a language other than English must also include an official English translation. Information regarding accepted evaluation agencies can be found below to assist you.

Please note: Regent University only requires the submission of the evaluation for international transcripts. There is no need to send a copy of your official international transcript to Regent. The translation and evaluation fees must be paid directly to the agency you contract with to perform the service.

A helpful resource to help determine degree equivalency is the Degree Equivalency Tool, provided by World Education Services. This tool is for informational purposes only and will provide a general U.S. equivalency for the school(s) you have attended. This will help you determine if you have the required credentials for studying at Regent University, before paying for a full evaluation. The Degree Equivalency Tool is free to use, but please note that the results from this tool will not fulfill the transcript evaluation requirement. This tool is limited to post-secondary degrees and recognized degree-granting institutions.

English Language Proficiency

All students enrolled in Regent University are required to be proficient in the English language. For international students in which English is not the primary language of their country, either the TOEFL iBT®, PTE Academic®, Duolingo® or the IELTS® exam must be taken to demonstrate one’s effectiveness with the English language.

English Language Proficiency exam scores are valid for two years after the test date.

Minimum Requirements

Regent University has established minimum required English language proficiency exam scores for admission purposes. These scores have been determined to ensure students have the language proficiency needed to be successful in classes.

Exam	Minimum Required Score
TOEFL iBT	90
PTE Academic	61
Duolingo	115
IELTS	7.0

Students interested in the School of Law will have a higher test score requirement.

Exam Waiver

An English proficiency exam may be waived for the following circumstances:

Non-native speakers who hold degrees or diplomas from postsecondary institutions in English-speaking countries (e.g., the United States, Canada, England, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand);
Non-native speakers who have successfully completed at least a two-year postsecondary course of study in which English was the language of instruction;
Transfer students from institutions in the United States or Canada whose postsecondary academic course work was favorably evaluated in relation to its demands and duration;

Applicants may request a waiver for the required English language proficiency exam by submitting the Request for Waiver Form. Request forms that are submitted without the required supporting documentation will be disregarded.

Official Test Scores

Depending on the program that you are applying for, official admissions test scores may be required or recommended. These consist of the GRE test scores for Doctoral or Masters level programs.

Regent University does not require ACT or SAT scores for Undergraduate level programs. These exams are encouraged, however, as there may be scholarship advantages based on those test scores.
