Applicants whose first language is not English and who have not earned an undergraduate degree from an institution at which all courses were taught in English will need to provide one of the following:

• A Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score of at least 550 (written version) or 80 (iBT version).
• An International English Language Test (IELTS) score of at least 5.0 for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduates, or verification of certification in an English proficiency program.

American Sentinel has no control over whether another university will accept its credits as transfer credits. Many do; however, it is not our decision. Rather, it is the decision of individual colleges and universities. There are many reasons that credits might not transfer. Sometimes there is not an appropriate match in curriculum between two schools. Students should contact the registrar at the university in question to determine whether credits from American Sentinel will transfer to that institution.

• Read the Council for Higher Education Accreditation’s Fundamentals of Accreditation handbook.
• Read the Distance Education and Training Council’s Student Guide to Transfer of Credit.
