Students who completed high school outside the U.S. are required to have their high school transcript credential evaluated by a company designated by Standard College. The evaluation report should include the grade point average (GPA). In this evaluation, the transcript must be translated into English, if needed, authenticated and equivalencies set to determine the level of education and its relation to accredited institutions in the United States. The results of the evaluation will be sent to Standard College. While Standard College agrees to review the evaluation for possible transfer credits, we reserve the right to accept or deny credits based upon the results of the evaluation. Fees are the responsibility of the student.

Standard College does not accept experiential, life or work experience learning credits.

These are agreements between community colleges and four-year colleges to provide a smooth transition for transfer students from college graduates into four-year colleges. Typically, they either guarantee that the associate degree will satisfy all freshman and sophomore general education requirements at the four-year university or specify a list of courses that will be treated as equivalent. Standard College does not have Articulation Agreements with any school at the moment.
