Application Requirements
Educational Documents

International students are eligible to apply to the undergraduate program of RWU if they have successfully completed the equivalent of a United States secondary school education (approximately twelve years of formal education) and have the appropriate diplomas and/or satisfactory results on transcripts or leaving examinations.

All Official secondary school and college/university scholastic records in the language of instruction, as well as English Translations must be submitted.

Official Documents 

All documents submitted for review must be official; that is, they must be either originals with a school seal and/or signature OR copies certified by authorized persons. (A "certified" copy is one that bears either an original signature of the registrar or other designated school official or an original impression of the institution's seal.) Uncertified copies are not acceptable. Submission of falsified documents is grounds for denial of admission or dismissal from the University.

These documents should be sent directly to RWU from the institution of attendance in a sealed envelope.

School profiles, in English, including information on the school's grading/marking system will facilitate accurate evaluation.

English Translations  

English translations do not need to be official but they should be literal (word-for-word, not interpretive) translations. They should include:

  • Dates of attendance
  • Name of each course
  • Number of hours and weeks each course was in session
  • Grade or mark earned in each course
Final Transcripts  

Since offers of admission are made with the expectation that all courses in progress will be successfully completed, we will require that you forward all final transcripts prior to matriculation.
