Transcripts
at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies

Two official copies of the transcript of all previous college work are required from each institution previously attended. Each set of transcripts must be in an envelope from the institution closed with the institution's official seal and must be submitted unopened by the applicant with the rest of the application packet. Note: If an institution's policies do not permit it to send official transcripts to applicants for use with self-managed applications, the transcripts may be sent directly to the Office of Academic Assistance at GSU using the address given previously under the heading "Application Procedures"Self-Managed Applications." In this instance, applicants should indicate on the application that the transcripts will be sent separately by the appropriate deadline.

Transcripts are required from each institution the applicant has attended, regardless of the length of time the applicant attended the institution or the applicant's status while at the institution or whether the grades are listed on another institution's transcript.

EXCEPTION: Applicants who have attended GSU must list their dates of attendance on their applications, but they do not have to request their GSU transcript. The OAA will obtain a record of the GSU coursework.

One copy of each of the transcripts will be given by the OAA to the registrar of the university for the student's permanent file. A person who has attended Georgia State University as a degree-seeking student may submit only one copy of the transcripts from each institution attended prior to entering GSU; two copies are required from all institutions attended after having last attended GSU.

International Transcripts

International Applicants must present "official" credentials attesting to academic achievement as to level and performance. "Official" documents will vary from country to country, but should be original documents with authoritative signatures, seals, stamps, or other verifications. Whenever possible, these should be sent directly by the institution(s). When this is impossible, the applicant should send a duly "notarized" or "attested to" copy done by a proper government official or a representative of the American Embassy.
