ECA - Master's degree obtained from 2 universities

[shadowbuster]

Hello,

I want to apply for an ECA but I have several concerns:

- I was in an engineering school for 1 year, but for personal reasons, I had to change for another one.
I could validate the first year in SCHOOL A so I can start from the second year.
In summary, I have 1 year in a SCHOOL A and 4 years in the SCHOOL B = 5 years and an engineering degree from SCHOOL B.
However, my transcripts are from 2 different schools.
The question is: How can I apply in WES in order to explain this?

- SCHOOL B offered me the opportunity to attend courses from SCHOOL C in order to validate a Master's Degree in parallel with my Engineering Degree.
I have therefore a Master's Degree (2 years) from SCHOOL C, but transcripts from both SCHOOL B (1st year) and SCHOOL C (2nd Year).
The same question: How can I appy in WES in order to explain this?

Thank you very much for your answers!

I had a similar situation where I did 1 year at one university and the 2nd year at the university that gave me the degree. Same for my undergrad.

Submit the transcript from the university that issued the degree. WES is familiar that this happens and it shouldn't be an issue.

Hello mgnlky,

Thank you so much for your answer.

Technical question:
- In WES, I have to fill the form that contains degrees. Does it mean that I only have to mention the universities (schools) that issued the degrees without mentionning the previous ones?
- For the transcripts, do I have to contact all the schools where I studied in order to ask for transcripts or only the ones that issued the degrees?

Thanks!

Correct. Only mention the degree granting university. Also only request the transcript from there.

Often transcript mentions "Transfer credits" (at least US transcripts do) which shows WES you moved colleges. But since they only look at degree awarded and not course-by-course, it's not an issue.

Sorry for bothering you, just to summarize:

- In WES:
- Mention SCHOOL B: Engineering Degree
- Mention SCHOOL C: Master's Degree.

- Transcripts:
- Engineering Degree: School A and School B
- Master's Degree: School B and School C.

Correct?

- In WES:
- Mention SCHOOL B: Engineering Degree
- Mention SCHOOL C: Master's Degree.

- Transcripts:
- Engineering Degree: School B
- Master's Degree: School C.




Sorry. I didn't realize the typos in my last post were confusing. (Stupid phones autocorrect!)

Thanks a lot, it's much clearer now!
