The transcript can either be an official SWT transcript or a copy of the student's most current advising transcript. According to the Registrar's office, a request for a transcript can be processed in 2-3 days of receiving the request by phone or mail, and immediately if requested in person. The completed application is given to the BSW Administrative Assistant. The student will then sign up to take the diagnostic examination. The sign up sheet is found in the Social Work office.
Students are responsible for finding out the dates for the exam and application period.
This information is posted outside the social work office as well as announced in social work classes. This preliminary diagnostic examination is in a language other than Spanish. The purpose of this exam is to measure natural foreign language skills to screen out students who should not be placed in a too demanding classroom situation. Students do not pass or fail the examination, but unusually low scores indicate the need to caution applicants as to the level of commitment required for language mastery. An acceptance and waiting list is posted outside the Social Work office in late November.
