Transcript Evaluation Process

Official transcripts for all secondary or high schools, colleges, and universities must be evaluated by an approved international credentialing service. Please submit all foreign transcripts to a NACES approved credentialing service. All student-athletes must have foreign transcripts evaluated by InCred in order to be approved for athletic eligibility within the NAIA (National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics). This evaluation will take approximately two to four weeks so please plan accordingly. Documents sent directly to the university without evaluation are considered unofficial and will not be acceptable for an admissions decision.

English Proficiency Requirement

Applicants from non-English speaking countries are required to submit official exam results demonstrating English proficiency. We accept the Test of English as Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the IELTS with minimum passing scores as follows:

• Computer-based TOEFL: 173
• Paper-based TOEFL: 550
• Internet-based TOEFL: 80
• ACT Composite: 19
• SAT Composite: 900
• IELTS: 6.0

Students wishing to use the American English Institute or English as a Second Language program completion to demonstrate English proficiency will need to provide Bushnell with official transcripts from the program.
