Exception: It is not necessary to submit transcripts for advanced placement courses and study abroad tranfer credits.
If your academic credentials are from a country other than the United States, please submit the following:
-
Transcript (that is, an official listing of the subjects you have studied and the marks received in each class).
-
Diploma (that is, an official certificate showing the exact name of your degree and the date you received it). If your transcript clearly specifies the name of your degree and your date of graduation, then you do not need to submit a diploma. If you are currently enrolled in a degree program and your degree has not yet been awarded, please specify the month and year in which you expect to receive your degree.
-
English translations. For all transcripts and diplomas in a language other than English, please submit BOTH the original documents as well as an English translation of them. A translation, unaccompanied by the original documents from which it originated, is not an accpetable educational credential.
