Official transcripts must be submitted to the Admissions office in a sealed envelope from the transfer institution. If the envelope is opened, the transcripts are no longer considered official, and must be ordered again.
Once the Admissions office has received your official transcripts we then route them through the Registrar’s office. These transcripts may include:
Each successfully completed course is reviewed and applied accordingly towards an equivalent required course for the degree. If there is no equivalent course, that course will be counted as an elective, and the credits earned are used in the cumulative total.
Students who complete courses at any other institution must submit official transcripts for evaluation in order to be counted towards degree completion.
Courses and their equivalents will also show on your Unofficial Transcripts in DAWGS. Courses and their equivalents will also show on your unofficial transcripts in DAWGS and DegreeWorks

International transcripts must be submitted to a foreign credential evaluation service, before being considered for transfer. Below is the contact information for these services.
