Requirements for submitting copies of official transcripts for admissions review process:

• Submit one copy of transcripts (online) from each post-secondary institution attended, including community colleges, study abroad programs, and AP credit.
  • If you received college level credit, a transcript should be submitted for review, regardless of length of time you attended, whether grades are listed, or where your final degree(s) were received.

• Submissions must be copies of university transcripts uploaded directly to your application in the Transcripts section of the application.  Copies of the following are acceptable:
  •  A hard-copy (paper) official transcript that you scan and upload.
