Qualifications for Official Academic Documents

U.S. transcripts must be mailed from institution in a stamped and sealed envelope or emailed through E-Script, National Student Clearinghouse, Docufide, or another secure electronic transcript transmission service. To request a transcript from a previously attended institution, please feel free to use the Request for Previous High School/College Transcript form.

In lieu of a high school transcript, transfer students can submit an official copy of their domestic college transcript in combination with our Attestation form. This will waive the need for a high school transcript submission.

Foreign transcripts must include original English translation and be mailed from institution in a stamped and sealed envelope or emailed through E-Script, National Student Clearinghouse, Docufide, or another secure electronic transcript transmission service. Foreign transcripts must show degree completion equivalent to a bachelor’s degree in the United States. We encourage you to submit a course-by-course evaluation of your diploma(s) and transcript(s).

Website transcript copy: To submit and complete your application you are able to upload your unofficial transcript directly to your online application. It can be uploaded in PDF format directly to the online application. Please ensure that the scanned documents are readable and include all courses, grades, (i.e. marks, scores, etc.) and credits completed to date. The scanned documents should also include information pertaining to the institution’s grading scale. If accepted, you will additionally need to provide your official transcript. In order for a transcript to be “official,” it must be in a sealed envelope from the transferring college or university.
