On-site · Study Abroad
Study in Switzerland
Study-abroad applications begin with the same academic review, but the steps that follow depend on the student’s circumstances and visa requirements.
Please contact us before planning your admission and payment timeline.
Visa students do not necessarily follow the same sequence as online students. The timing of payments, admission documentation and other enrolment steps may differ depending on the programme, intake and visa process.
Our admissions team will explain the correct procedure for your individual study-abroad application.

Exact requirements can vary by programme, but applicants should normally be prepared to provide the following.

Prospective Students
Credit Transfer Policy & Procedure.
Applicants who have successfully completed relevant study elsewhere may request that previous academic credit be considered toward a La Xenia course or programme.
01
Credit Transfer Process
Documents required and how applications are reviewed
In determining the appropriateness of credit for work completed outside the institution, La Xenia requires the student seeking academic credit to provide the following documentation for review:
- An official transcript evidencing successful completion of the course or degree programme for which recognition is sought.
- A copy of the programme catalogue or course syllabus, if requested.
- A formal request stating the programme or course for which recognition is requested, directed to the Admissions team.
Review and approval of the materials presented will be conducted by the Registrar or Academic Dean and the student will be advised formally if credit is accepted toward the course or programme of enrolment at La Xenia.
The process may take from 10–12 working days.
02
Criteria for Transfer Decisions
How La Xenia assesses transfer credit
La Xenia decisions regarding the award of transfer credit will be based on an evaluation that the applicant is qualified to successfully engage in La Xenia’s curriculum and benefit from its educational purposes and programmes.
The framework for this decision will consider:
Comparability & Applicability
Credit transfer decisions will be informed by comparability of the nature, content, quality, and level of transfer credit, and the appropriateness and applicability of the credit earned.
This assessment may be based on review of catalogues, course syllabi and other materials, and from direct contact between knowledgeable, experienced faculty and staff at both the receiving and sending institutions.
Accreditation Status
Accreditation status is one factor that La Xenia will consider. La Xenia will critically evaluate credits earned by unaccredited institutions or programmes and determine if the quality of the institution or programme satisfies La Xenia expectations.
Consistency
La Xenia will apply its policies and practices consistently.
Public Communication
La Xenia will make its policy on credit transfer publicly accessible to promote fairness, equity, and consistency in its practice.
Commitment to Innovation
La Xenia policies and practices will demonstrate flexibility and openness to innovative institutions and programmes, while not compromising quality expectations.
Applicability for Degree Purposes
La Xenia credit transfer decisions will be based on a fair determination of the applicability of credit hours at the sending institution to the La Xenia programmes of instruction.
These criteria guide policies and practices that are mindful of the interests of the student, recognising that life circumstances may prompt students to transfer, while maintaining La Xenia’s emphasis on educational excellence and student success.
03
Supplemental Components on Transfer Credit
Requirements applying to coursework proposed for credit
Coursework proposed for award of academic credit toward an educational programme at La Xenia must be comparable to coursework identified in the programme of study, or satisfy prerequisites established for the purpose of qualifying for admission.
The course or courses must:
- Be comparable to specific identified coursework, as established through review of course outlines, syllabi, or catalogue descriptions from the institution awarding credit, or as evaluated and confirmed by the Academic Dean and/or Registrar.
- Be at the same level of instruction — certificate, diploma, advanced diploma, bachelor, or graduate — as the course for which it will substitute.
- Have been completed within a time period that assures the course competencies and outcomes are timely and consistent with current practices of La Xenia and the programme for which credit is sought.
- Have received academic credit at the awarding institution. No credit is allowed for developmental or remedial coursework, as established by the course numbering system of the awarding institution.
- Be completed with a minimum grade of passed.
No award of credit will exceed the credit value (semester or quarter) granted by the awarding institution, and credit for course completion cannot be recognised if the credit value is less than that required by La Xenia.
No distinction will be made based on instructional modality if the course description, objectives and student learning outcomes are comparable.
