About Study Abroad & Faxes
February 15, 2008 by TC_Risa
Greetings!
We are currently processing applications for Summer and Fall 2008 admission. One item that can prevent an application from being completed and reviewed is their study abroad transcript.
It is important to find out how your school lists study abroad credit on your transcript. In order to complete your application, we require that your official record of these credits reflect both the course title and the final grade received. Many colleges and universities simply list the courses as “transfer credit” or they include the course title, but not the final grade.
Unfortunately, this can delay the review of your application significantly. In order to give a full review of a student’s application, we need a record of all grade performance, even if it is on a pass-fail basis. We recommend ordering a set of official transcripts for your own records. That way, you will know exactly what additional materials you may need to submit.
Some of you have been contacted by the Office of Admission regarding missing application items and asked to fax a piece for our review purposes. It is important that you only fax materials to us if you are requested to do so by the Office of Admission. Faxes are a last resort and do not take the place of official hard copies of transcripts or recommendations.
If you have questions about submitting an missing item, please contact your admission liaison for instructions.
Best of luck to all current and future applicants. Have a wonderful weekend!
