- For universities within the U.S., an official copy of your transcript must be requested to be sent to Asbury University
- Applicants seeking transfer from an institution outside of the U.S. must submit authenticated copies of all international transcripts to the Office of Admissions through the World Education Services credential services clearinghouse. This is to ensure maximum transfer of credits for the student.
