Submit Your Official, Final Transcripts
Within your first semester of enrollment, official, final transcript submission is required for all previously earned degrees, including bachelor¡¯s and higher, as part of our audit process*. If you plan to request transfer or reduction of credits, official transcripts are also required from the college or university where those credits were earned, regardless of a degree being earned there or not
We recommend you submit these transcripts as soon as possible upon admission. A registration hold will be placed on your student record on the day immediately after??in your first enrolled semester. This hold will prevent any further course registrations and will not allow for your degree to be conferred when you apply to graduate. For details on submission, please see the notice below that applies to you.
Please note all items submitted become university property and will not be returned. If you want to have a set for yourself to keep, we recommend asking your university to give you a second (or attested) copy of these documents.
