RL We require three letters of recommendation from individuals who can attest to your potential for graduate study. Sources should be persons with substantial academic or professional contact with you such as professors or immediate supervisors. The letters should be submitted within the online application system if possible. If you run into issues getting your references to submit the letter electronically you can have them send it directly seedgrad@iastate.edu. Transcript Official records bear the original stamp or seal of the school registrar. Iowa State will not accept transcripts printed from a school’s website, nor grade reports. If you were previously enrolled at Iowa State you do not need to request your Iowa State transcripts; the Office of Admissions will obtain them directly. Documents may be uploaded at the same time that you submit your online application, or at a later date if necessary. We can now accept a scanned copy of official academic records and degree statements issued by any institution where you earned (or will earn) a bachelor’s, and any institution attended after that (e.g., graduate work, etc.) for the admissions process. If you do not have an official copy of your transcripts you can still request them from the university/college and have them directly mailed to Iowa State University Graduate Admissions. If you are given an official offer of admission from Iowa State University to the program, you will then need to make sure an official copy is still sent directly to ISU admissions. They will accept scanned versions of official transcripts for the application process only.
