2. Submit Your Official Transcript(s)

For unconditional admission and to be classified as degree eligible, applicants must submit an official high school transcript or GED certificate, and official transcripts from all previously attended post-secondary institutions. Students with an associate degree or bachelor degree are not required to submit a high school transcript or GED.

A transfer student who has earned an associate or bachelor degree from a regionally accredited college or university is only required to submit an official transcript from the degree-granting institution. However, if a student wishes to have transcripts evaluated for transfer credit, official transcripts must be submitted from the institution(s) in which the original credit was awarded.
