Do international distance education students need to send official transcripts and diplomas earned at other educational institutions?
A. Yes. All applicants for admission to Preston should request that official transcripts, translated into English and notarized, be sent directly to Preston University from the educational institution from which they earned their diplomas. The student must submit copies of all diplomas they have earned. These documents enable the Academic Committee to approve enrollment in programs and to assign transfer credit for previous academic achievements. If the educational institution cannot send official transcripts or diplomas, the student may submit photocopies of transcripts and degrees certified by a school official or attested by an appropriate government official. Since each degree program requires different documentation, we have included an Application Check Sheet to help you in submitting all the correct documents with your Application for Admission. To prevent delays in processing your application, be sure to submit all required documents in one complete package.
