Transcript:
All applicants to the Heinz College's Ph.D. programs must provide evidence of receipt of an undergraduate degree (a bachelor's degree or its equivalent) by a regionally accredited institution prior to matriculation*.
Within the application form, students are required to list all colleges and universities where they have earned a degree or completed pre-requisite coursework related to applying to the Heinz College. We must receive an official transcript (please see instructions below) from each school you list within the application form. Each official transcript should show the titles of all courses taken, grades or marks received, and the date and title of any degree(s) conferred. We must receive official transcripts before your application will be considered complete.
Please note:
if you completed courses at one institution that transferred to another (transfer, study-abroad) for a degree, the degree-awarding institution's transcript will be sufficient if all of the transferred course titles and grades/marks appear on the degree-awarding institution's official transcript.
the official transcript may differ from the unofficial transcript available to you as a student/alumnus.
do not list institutions where a transcript was not issued.
do not list secondary/higher secondary or high school.
* Applicants who have not completed their bachelor's degree by the time they submit their application for admission may be admitted to the Heinz College with the condition they submit their final transcript, including their date of graduation, prior to the start of their first semester at Heinz.
The following instructions pertain to all applicants for the Ph.D. programs affilitated with the Heinz College. (Applicants to the master's degree programs offered by Heinz College should click here.)
Undergraduate Degree Transcripts from institutions outside of the United States:
If you completed your bachelor's degree from an institution located outside of the United States**, we would prefer you use an academic credential verification service to obtain a course-by-course report rather than submitting your transcript directly from your previous instiution to our office. This is not a requirement for applicants to our Ph.D. programs. If you choose not to do so, please follow the instructions below for schools within the United States.
If you choose to submit your international transcript(s) via a credential verification service, they will then send the report directly to the Heinz College either electronically or by mail. If you decide to use a transcript service, do not mail another copy of your transcript to the Heinz College. We will accept evaluations from any member of NACES (http://www.naces.org/members.html).

1. Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE): At minimum, please select the Course-by-Course Report. To keep costs to a minimum, be sure to select:
