At the end of the exchange term, students will have to request Seattle University transcripts to be sent to their home university. Transcripts are issued by the Registrar's Office and should be requested once grades are posted. Transcripts are available in Electronic and Printed via the Office of The Registrar's Transcript page. We recommend that students request several physical copies for their own record for future use. 

The courses offered in the English Language and Culture Bridge program are highly advanced, with a specific focus on university-level reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. In addition, the course work concentrates on the American academic culture and the specific preparation for requirements at Seattle University. Courses are still open to international students who have met English Proficiency Requirements.
