Policies

The incoming student must have an AP score qualification of 3 or above.

However, if an international applicant wishes to have individual courses reviewed by the Registrar in order to transfer credits from a non-US college or university; the following procedure applies: Applicants must provide an English translation of the transcript, or in the event this is not possible, the applicant must contact World Education Services (WES): https://www.wes.org for an official evaluation of non-US college or university transcripts and request the evaluation be sent to Williamson College.

Transfer credits from prior colleges or universities will be posted to academic transcripts only upon official admission. Transfer Credit Procedure: WC accepts transfer credit from institutions accredited by an agency approved by the United States Department of Education. Credits from other institutions are subject to the College's Transfer Credit Escrow Procedure. Transfer decisions are applied consistently. If WC offers an equivalent course to one taken at another institution, the transfer credit may be substituted for the WC course requirement. Lower division transfer credits will not satisfy upper division course requirements. Students may be required to submit documentation as to course content and duration of course prior to transfer credit being approved.

• Transfer credit is only granted for courses in which a grade of "C" or better was earned. Transfer credit is not granted for developmental courses or for continuing education units. Transfer credit must have been completed within the last five 5 years. Transfer Credit Escrow Procedure Credits earned from unaccredited colleges, universities, and institutions are conditionally accepted.
