Official Transcripts

Please do NOT send hard copies of materials that have been submitted electronically. Original documents are NOT required until you are admitted and decide to attend the University of Pittsburgh.

Applicants seeking admission to graduate study must hold a bachelor's degree (or the equivalent to a four-year U.S. bachelor's degree from an accredited institution as determined by the University of Pittsburgh). Proof from official documents (not photocopies) that this degree has been conferred is required before admitted students are permitted to register for course work.

Applicants must submit their unofficial transcripts with their application to Swanson until admitted. Then, submit their official transcript. This will be prompted by the University in your declared admissions email. Admitted students are required to submit accurate official transcripts from their previously attended institution (undergraduate/graduate). In addition, in cases where the grade reports, academic record, examination results, or transcript do not attest to the awarding of a degree or other academic qualification, a certified copy of the original certificate or diploma awarding the degree or qualification must be submitted. Official, original academic credentials, certificates, or diplomas that are issued in a language other than English must be accompanied by a certified English translation. Personal copies of your records will not be regarded as official.
