  Applicants must submit transcripts from all secondary and post-secondary institutions. Transcripts must document graduation from a secondary school or the equivalent. Applicants who have attended high school in the U.S. must provide official documentation from their home country as well as from their U.S. institution. Only original documents or certified copies are acceptable. An officially translated, line by line, word for word English translation must accompany the original document when scores/results are listed in any language other than English. International students wishing to transfer coursework from colleges or universities outside of the continental U.S. must first have the transcript evaluated by an official evaluation service. There is a fee for this service.
