Transcript: The UCSB Graduate Division now allows and requires “unofficial” transcripts to be uploaded into the online application. The uploaded transcripts are required to be official documents created by the university and/or college you have attended or are currently attending. The Department of Economics places strict guidelines on the transcripts you submit in your online application.  Transcripts are required from ALL post‐secondary educational institutions attended, including community colleges, summer sessions, and extension programs.  International applicants should make sure that uploaded documents include both the original language transcript and certified English translation. English transcripts are required and must be a complete, exact and literal translation of the original transcripts. English translations must be provided by the school or an official agency. Unofficial copies made by the applicant or UC faculty and staff are unacceptable.  Transcripts must be scanned official and original copies of transcripts (produced by the university) provided to the student by the official office of record. (i.e. Registrar’s office) or official electronic originals from the university.  Remove your Social Security Number by crossing/blacking out numbers before uploading (if applicable).  Transcripts are not accepted if they are; photocopies of originals or printouts from a generic student academic records website.  International Applicants: Please include your degree certificate within the same file if you have received your degree. Tips for uploading official transcripts  Scan a copy of a current official transcript  Save document as a PDF and that its size does not exceed 10MB  Ensure that the institution name and all other identifying marks are visible and clearly legible and that your scan can print on letter‐size paper ‐ 8 ½ by 11 in (21 ½ by 30 cm)  Make sure scanned images are not crooked or off center.  Be sure to include a copy of the transcript legend or university key for each institution (usually found on the backside of the official transcript or in the school’s general catalog or website)  Click the “view document” button to verify whether the uploaded document is legible, if it is not legible, try again Curriculum Vitae: Résumé or Curriculum Vitae. List your positions of employment or volunteer work/community service since high school, either full or part-time, including the hours per week worked and the nature and dates of employment or service. Personal Statement: Give a brief statement outlining your reasons for undertaking a graduate program, your particular area of specialization within the major field, your past academic work, and your plans for future occupation or profession. Also include any additional information that may assist the selection committee in evaluating your preparation and aptitude for graduate study at UC Santa Barbara. Recommendation Letter: Three letters of recommendation are required as part of your application. Four is the maximum allowed. Letters of recommendation are submitted online via the online Graduate Application. You will be asked to supply the name, email address, and current institution of each recommender. Once that information is supplied, the online application will provide recommendation submission instructions to any of your recommenders via email. Recommenders may upload letters in PDF file format only. Letters of recommendation are most effective when they come from economics faculty. Personal Achievements/Contributions: UC Santa Barbara is interested in a diverse and inclusive graduate student population. Please describe any aspects of your personal background, accomplishments, or achievements that you feel are important in evaluating your application for graduate study. For example, please describe if you have experienced economic challenges in achieving higher education, such as being financially responsible for family members or dependents, having to work significant hours during undergraduate schooling or coming from a family background of limited income. Please describe if you have any unusual or varied life experiences that might contribute to the diversity of the graduate group, such as fluency in other languages, experience living in bicultural communities, academic research interests focusing on cultural, societal, or educational problems as they affect underserved segments of society, or evidence of an intention to use the graduate degree toward serving disadvantaged individuals or populations.
