Individuals who have attended a World Health Organization (WHO)-approved medical school may be accepted for transfer to the first, second or third semesters at Saba University. Acceptance is contingent upon the recommendation of the Admissions Committee and availability of space. Please contact the Admissions Office before submitting an application for transfer.
Transfer students must meet all documentation requirements of a new student (with some additions, see below) and must be in good academic standing.
Requirements for the application include:
- An official transcript from your current institution and all past educational institutions.
- A letter from the your current medical school indicating your standing at that school. This letter is normally written by the Academic Dean of the medical school.
- A statement that the applicant has met all outstanding financial and academic obligations at the previous medical school.
Saba University will only offer transfer credit for coursework completed through an accredited medical school that meets our standards and matches our curriculum.
Saba University will not consider coursework completed through a distance learning program. Students with unsatisfactory records or dismissal for any reason from other medical schools are not considered for transfer.
Saba University does not offer advanced standing credit for courses taken in graduate or professional degree programs (e.g. Chiropractic, Physician Assistant, Podiatry, Dentistry or other allied health professional programs).
Please note: Based on the medical school an applicant is seeking transfer from, if accepted, the student may need to repeat courses to satisfy state licensure requirements.
Students interested in transferring to the Clinical Medicine program (Semesters 5-10) must contact the Admissions Office prior to formally applying to determine eligibility and space availability.
