Academic Documents

Admitted students must provide official/authorized academic documents (transcripts and degree documents) to the Office of Graduate Education before their first semester of matriculation. Institute policy requires that all admitted graduate students complete an academic verification and evaluation process as outlined in the FAQ How do I submit my official academic documents?

Admitted students who fail to provide official/authorized academic documents (transcripts and degree documents) within their first semester of study will have a registration/academic hold put on their student account preventing them from registering for their second semester of study.

Admitted students whose academic documents are not in English must submit an English translation from their college or university. This translation should be provided alongside the original document(s) in the native language. If the admitted student’s institution does not provide documents in English, they can use the services of an official translation agency. The admitted student must order a word-for-word translation of their documents.

Credential Evaluation and Verification

Applicants who attended a school outside of the United States may be selected to have their international credentials evaluated by one of our partners as part of our application review process. If your application is selected for this partner service, it will be completed at no cost to you. You must follow the instructions from our service partner to complete your part of the evaluation process. Failure to complete your part of this process will result in significant delays with the application review process and enrollment. More information about this process can be found at Credential Evaluation Services Partners.
