Applicants must upload an unofficial
transcript, mark sheet, or academic record for each institution (even if you
didn’t receive a degree) in the Academic History section of the online
application.
All uploaded transcripts must be accompanied by
a key, a legend, or the back copy of the transcript. Non-English transcripts
must be accompanied by an English translation. Records from non-U.S.
institutions must have grades or marks and contain a copy of diploma if the
degree has been conferred. Make sure your name appears on the
transcript/record. Scanned documents must be clear and legible.
If you experience trouble uploading your
transcript, email [email protected] and give a detailed description of the issue
and attach the document in question.
The New School reserves the right to require
official transcripts or an official NACES course-by-course evaluation at any
time during the admission process. Any fraudulent activity or discrepancies
found between uploaded and official transcripts will result in the immediate
revocation of admission and/or dismissal from The New School. Transcripts
uploaded with the online application are considered unofficial.
Applicants offered admission will be required
to submit official transcripts with proof of their degree conferral prior to
enrollment. Admitted applicants must submit all official transcripts pertaining
to their entire academic career. Transcripts uploaded with the online
application do not satisfy this requirement.
Students with International Credentials Seeking Transfer Credit
Graduate applicants with who are seeking transfer credit and attended
postsecondary institutions outside of the United States are required to have
their transcript(s) evaluated by World Education Services (WES), by Education Credential Evaluators (ECE), or by another member of the National Association of Credit Evaluation Services (NACES). A course-by-course evaluation
must be prepared for each transcript.
Follow all document requirements as outlined on the evaluation
service providers’ websites. Evaluations completed by WES or ECE will be sent
directly to us electronically by the vendor.
All other NACES provider evaluations should be
mailed directly by the vendor to the address for Supplemental Materials. A copy
of the transcript that was evaluated should accompany the evaluation in the
same sealed envelope, or the official transcript should be sent directly to The
New School by the issuing college/university.
