Submitting Transcripts FAQ

How long do I have to Submit a Transcript?

Students entering a program of study have up to one semester of attendance to submit their official high school transcript. No financial aid will be awarded until all high school transcripts are received. Students who have graduated from institutions outside the United States must document completion of a nationally recognized secondary school diploma.
