Webster University: Registration Preparation for International Transfer Students

Registration Preparation for Undergraduate Students

Step 1: Review the Undergraduate Studies Catalog to review majors available. Webster University offers over 100 different majors from which you can choose. Write down the names of majors you may be interested in studying.

Step 2: If your acceptance letter indicates that you are required to take on-campus English Proficiency Tests, make arrangements to sit for the exam during scheduled testing dates. You will register for classes with an advisor after your on-campus exams are complete.

Step 3: Review course descriptions for courses in your major in the Undergraduate Studies Catalog. If you are undeclared or unsure of your major, look for descriptions of courses that may interest you. Write down course numbers and titles of courses.

Step 4: Review the General Education Requirements. Write down the course number and titles of general education courses you may be interested in taking. Many transfer students are awarded credit towards general education requirements based on previously completed coursework from accredited schools. Please submit your transcripts from all previously attended colleges and universities for official transfer credit evaluation.

Step 5: Using the notes you wrote down about majors and courses of interest, search the Course Schedule online to check if the course/s are available in your first semester. See the instructions for Creating a Schedule for additional information. Write down a list of the course numbers, titles, and SECTION numbers for classes you would like to take.

Step 6: Submit all official transcripts from colleges and universities you have attended to the Office of Admissions. Advisors can access information on any potential transfer credit after the Office of Admissions receives the official documentation.

Step 7: Overseas students may contact Academic Advising for an email registration consultation, or if you prefer, you may request a telephone or Instant Messenger appointment. Contact the Academic Advising Center at advising@webster.edu or phone us at 314-968-6972 to request an appointment.

Step 8: Contact the Multicultural Center and International Student Affairs office for information on mandatory new student orientation. If you would like to request airport pickup, please email Bethany Keller, Assistant Director, at bethanys@webster.edu or call 314-246-7649.
