Domestic Graduate Applicants

Once you have submitted your application, have ALL the colleges and universities that you have attended send us one official copy of your transcripts, certifications or degrees received. If you are still enrolled in a degree program, have a transcript sent now from that institution but be prepared to have another transcript sent once your degree is posted.
