Full academic transcript

Present a full academic transcript of all universities and colleges attended from your freshman year to the present showing the grades given to the applicant per department (including for general education).

Transferring students must also submit their transcripts from their previous colleges, etc.
A degree certificate or a graduation certificate simply showing the ranking of the applicant at graduation will not substitute for academic transcripts.

Applicants for a Master's degree course	YES	Not necessary
Applicants for a Doctoral degree course	YES	YES

Grade Scales

Indicate your grade and the grading system, which are usually shown in the academic transcript issued by the university you attended. 
The academic grading system may differ between universities; as letters (generally A through F), as a numeric range (for example 1 to 5), as a percentage of a total number of students, as a number out of a possible total (for example out of 100), and so on.   We accept various grading system evaluations, but please present a Cumulative Grade Average (CGPA) or GPA if shown in your academic transcript, as this is most preferable.

If your transcript does not show such information, you can submit a screen-print of the university website, and an explanatory letter issued by your university authorities about your grade and/or the university’s grading system.
