Transcripts

New first-time freshmen an original official high school transcript must be presented to the International Student Advisor who will certify its authenticity. The original high school transcript will be returned to the student.

Transfer students who have attended institutions of higher learning must submit official college transcripts from ALL institutions attended. If transfer coursework is from a foreign institution, the student is responsible for providing a Comprehensive Course-by-Course Report from a foreign credentials evaluator in order to receive credit for the coursework.

Foreign transfer coursework SUSLA does not conduct its own foreign credit evaluations for the purpose of transfer of academic credit earned overseas. International students are responsible for costs involved for an evaluator and for making all the necessary arrangements. Students must select the “Comprehensive Course-by-Course Report” on the evaluation application request. SUSLA will accept foreign credit evaluations from a certified credentials evaluator.
