The university requires us to send the transcripts of the last four years of high school (9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade), as well as proof of graduation, in order to evaluate your academic profile. If you’ve already sent us some of your transcripts, please just send the ones that are still missing.
How should the transcript be presented?
It must be an official school document, signed and stamped by the school
It should clearly show the academic year (e.g., 2024/25) and the grade level (e.g., 12th Grade or equivalent)
It must include the final grades for each subject in numerical format (e.g., 9 or 10). It's fine if it also includes terms like “Excellent” or “Outstanding”
If a subject was failed and later passed in a retake, we recommend that only the final passing grade appears
Transcript language
The transcript must be in the official language of the school
If that language is not English, an English version will also be required
How to get the English version:
Ask the school if they can issue the transcript in English
If not, a certified translation will be required. If needed, we work with a professional translation service and can request a free quote
Proof of graduation
We understand that the official high school diploma may not be available for a few months. However, U.S. universities require official confirmation that the student has completed their studies and earned the diploma.
There are two valid options:
Option A:
Some schools include a statement at the bottom of the final transcript confirming that the student was enrolled and has successfully completed their high school diploma. If that message appears, no additional document is needed.
Option B:
If the transcript does not include that statement, the school will need to issue a graduation certificate (also known as proof of graduation). We’ve attached a sample you can share with the school to make the process easier.
This certificate must also be issued in the official language of the school. If that language is not English, a certified English translation will also be required.
