The School of Graduate Studies requires every degree seeking applicant to submit an official transcript from the institution at which the highest degree was earned. Applicants must submit transcript(s) from all other institutions attended, which can be either official or unofficial. However, applicants who wish to seek transfer credit for graduate coursework, must submit an official transcript from the institution where that work was completed. Coursework from one institution reported as transfer credit on another school's transcript constitutes neither an official nor an unofficial transcript. 91社区 transcripts do not need to be requested. Electronic submission of transcripts is preferred and will expedite the review of applications.听
- Official Transcript -听An official transcript is one that has been sent directly to the School of Graduate Studies by the institution issuing it. The applicant must request that it be sent to the School of Graduate Studies.
- Unofficial Transcript -听An unofficial transcript is one that has been issued to the applicant, who then submits it to the School of Graduate Studies.
Where do I send my transcripts?
Official transcripts must be sent from the previous university to the School of Graduate Studies by email (Graduate.Studies@usi.edu).
