Application procedures

Applicants should submit the following:

• Completed application form. (lynn.edu/apply)
• Official transcripts from all institutions of higher learning (for transfer students) or official high school transcripts or GED score report (for students enrolling with less than 12 credits).
• Personal statement.

Upon admission to Lynn University, transfer students will receive an evaluation of transfer credits provided by the Registrar. Transfer credit is awarded for courses successfully completed at a regionally accredited institution or an institution whose accrediting organization is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

Official transcripts from each institution attended must be submitted in order for the Registrar to complete a formal transfer evaluation. Courses completed outside of the United States require students to submit a NACES approved official foreign credential evaluation and translation along with their official transcripts. Each transfer evaluation is reviewed by the Office of Academic Affairs and/or appropriate college faculty.

A course evaluated as equivalent to a Lynn course is accepted as that course. A course evaluated as dissimilar is accepted as an elective. If a preliminary evaluation is completed for a student based on an unofficial transcript, that evaluation will not be considered final until official documentation is received and reviewed for accuracy. Although credits transfer in from other institutions, grades do not. Transfer courses are listed on the transcript with a grade of “T.” A student’s Lynn grade point average is based solely on courses completed at Lynn University. Transfer students must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours at Lynn University to earn a bachelor’s degree

International applicants must also provide:

• Official TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo, PTE Academic or Versant test scores if English is not the applicant’s first language. Applicants with a minimum TOEFL score of 71 (Internet-based), IELTS score of 6.0, Duolingo score of 105, PTE Academic score of 50 or Versant score of 60 will be considered for admission. To register, contact TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo, PTE or Versant.
• Consideration may be given to students who fall slightly below Lynn University’s English requirement. These cases will be reviewed on an individual basis by the Office of Admission.
• Applicants from Australia, Bermuda, Canada, the Commonwealth Caribbean, New Zealand, the Republic of Ireland, South Africa or the United Kingdom are not required to submit proof of English proficiency test scores.
• All educational documents must be accompanied by certified English translations. A credential evaluation by a NACES approved organization is required. All documents submitted must carry the seal or stamp of the issuing educational institution. Uncertified photocopies are acceptable for evaluations towards an admission decision, but the Office of Admission must receive official documents prior to the start of the semester.
