Do not have recommenders mail letters. Please request your referees to submit letters of recommendation via the online application system.  

Do you need my official transcripts when I apply?

We no longer require official transcripts for the review process. Official transcripts are only required once an applicant confirms the intent to enroll.

Do you really need transcripts from every institution I’ve ever attended?

Yes. This includes community colleges, summer sessions and extension programs. While credits from one institution may appear on the transcript of a second institution, unofficial transcripts must be submitted from each institution, regardless of the length of attendance, and whether or not courses were completed.  

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.
