Uploading Your Transcript
We strongly encourage you to upload an unofficial copy of your transcript or academic record for each institution you have attended to the Education section of the online application. Your application will be reviewed for admission on the basis of the unofficial copies. Official copies of your transcripts will be required only if you are offered admission.
Tips for scanning and uploading your transcripts:
- We prefer that you scan a copy of your official transcript and upload the scanned copy to your application. While you may upload a web-based copy of your transcript, please ensure that both your name and the name of the institution appear on the copy.
- Transcripts should be scanned at the lowest resolution that produces a legible copy. We recommend using under 200 dpi.
- Color copies are not necessary. Scanning in black and white or gray scale is strongly recommended.
- In your upload, please include one copy of the transcript legend or grading scale for each university. This usually appears on the back of each transcript page.
- Please do not upload certified, encrypted, or password-protected files.
- Your scanned copy must be printable on letter size (8 1/2 by 11) or A4 paper.
- The size of your uploaded document must not exceed 1,000 kb.
- Once you have uploaded your transcript, click the "View Document" button and ensure that your document is legible. Illegible documents are not acceptable and will delay the processing of your application.
- If your transcript is from a non-US university, please be sure to review the admission requirements of your program to determine which specific documents you should upload.
