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.
