recommendation.
We request that you use the online recommendation system

Page 9: Transcripts/Academic Records
Scanned copies of transcripts from each college or
university attended where credit was earned toward
undergraduate, graduate, or professional degrees are
required. Transcripts for study abroad programs or
transfer programs are not required if the course titles,
grades, and credit hours are all included on the
transcript of the degree-granting institution. If the
original document is not in English, also provide an
official, exact (literal) English translation.
- Scan all pages of each transcript. If the
reverse side of the transcript provides information
on the university’s grading policies, please scan
and submit one sample.
- All transcripts should be scanned into a single
document. PDF files preferred, but additional
formats (.doc, .jpg, .gif, .tiff, .bmp) are
accepted.
- Ensure file size does not exceed 2 MB.
- Scanned documents must be clearly legible and
able to be printed on standard U.S. 8.5" x 11"
paper.
- Tips for reducing file size:
- Scan as a low-resolution image, or in black
and white only.
- Make a low-resolution black and white
photocopy of your transcripts and scan each
photocopy.
