Transcript Important: Unofficial copies of all your (university level) transcripts should be uploaded to your online application in the "Academic History" section. (Please include a certified English translation, if necessary.) If your B.A. is currently in progress, upload transcripts for all coursework completed. If an undergraduate transcript does not show proof of degree and date earned, a diploma showing award of B.A. or equivalent should also be uploaded.
