Transcript:
As part of the online application, upload a scanned transcript from each post-secondary institution you have attended, present school included. (This requirement applies to applicants who are or were enrolled at Emory.)
The transcripts must be issued by the registrar’s office. Unofficial copies issued to the student are fine.
We will not accept printed web pages from the University’s student information system. If you submit this, the processing of your application may be delayed.
If you want to upload an electronic transcript issued by your registrar's office, make sure we can open that document without passwords or other security information.
Please do not mail paper transcripts with your application unless your program specifically asks for that. Later on, if you are admitted and accept, then you will need to submit official copies (sealed or sent to us directly from a university registrar).
Transcripts must be in English, or be accompanied by notarized translations. (See our page for International Applicants.)
By the start of your first semester, one transcript must show that you have been awarded have a Bachelor's degree or its equivalent from an accredited institution. If you are still enrolled and studying for your Bachelor's degree, we realize that the transcripts you upload cannot yet show this.
