Unofficial Transcripts will be accepted as a provisional document in place of Official Transcripts for admission purposes only. If admitted to your graduate program, an Official Transcript must be submitted before courses start for the Summer or Fall (as applicable). If one is not submitted, the student will be prohibited from continuing their enrollment after the first term. In addition, transferable coursework will not be added to the student’s Dominican transcript until we have the Official Transcript.
Unofficial College Transcripts must come via paper or as a PDF attached to an email. They need to clearly include the student's legal name, the name of the institution, and the dates the student attended. We will not accept screenshots, screen captures, or pictures.
