Important Update on Transcript Requirements
For review and decision purposes you are required to upload scanned unofficial transcripts from each undergraduate and graduate institution attended. While credits from one institution may appear on the transcript for a second institution, unofficial transcripts must be submitted from each institution regardless of the length of attendance, and whether or not courses were completed.
Only after you are recommended for admission will you be required to provide official transcripts.
Failure to list and submit transcripts from all institutions previously attended is considered to be a violation of academic ethics and may result in the cancellation of your admission or dismissal from the university.
Instructions for Uploading Unofficial Transcripts to Your Application
Application Deadline (Fall Admission Only) -
