What is the next process after having one backlog in my degree?
Having one backlog in your degree does not automatically disqualify you from studying abroad, but you must clear it before completing your application process.
- Clear the backlog as soon as possible, ideally before application deadlines or before receiving admission offers.
- Obtain an updated transcript that shows the cleared backlog.
- Submit updated documents to the universities you apply to.
- Prepare other required materials like your IELTS test, Statement of Purpose (SOP), and recommendation letters.
- For your visa, you must show you have passed all courses, including the previously backlogged one.
