International Transcript Evaluation A course-by-course transcript evaluation must be obtained from an NACES-approved organization selected by the university. The university will cover the cost of this evaluation after you submit your application and we have received your official English language proficiency score. This process normally takes one to two weeks, but during peak periods, this process may take up to 3-4 weeks. Submitting your program application at least four weeks before the final deadline will ensure that you remain eligible for your desired start term.
To facilitate a course-by-course evaluation, please include the following documents with your application:

1. Unofficial transcripts from all institutions you attended to obtain your bachelor’s degree.
2. A copy of your diploma.
3. If you completed a 3-year bachelor’s degree followed by a 1-2 year post-baccalaureate degree, please include an unofficial copy of your post-baccalaureate transcript and diploma.

Upon admission to the program, you will be required to submit official transcript(s) from the institution(s) where you earned your bachelor’s degree. If these transcripts are in a language other than English, official English translations must also be provided.
