Transcripts

One (1) official transcript from all institutions of higher learning where the applicant has earned a degree are required. However, unofficial transcripts or photocopies are acceptable to begin the application process. Any admissions decision made using unofficial transcripts is considered provisional and will not be finalized until official transcripts are received in a sealed envelope from the Office of the Registrar from the institutions previously attended. All transcripts must be in English; it is the applicant's responsibility to have transcripts translated and evaluated* before submitting them as part of their graduate application packet. If applying while still completing an undergraduate degree, the applicant must submit transcripts of at least six (6) semesters of completed undergraduate work. Final transcripts showing the award of a bachelor's degree will be required if an applicant is admitted and enrolls. Applicants who received their bachelor's degree from any USF institution or campus are not required to submit an official transcript.

*All foreign transcripts require a course by course evaluation from a foreign transcript evaluation service. Refer to the USF St. Petersburg International Admissions web site for a list of evaluation services. (http://www.stpt.usf.edu/international).
