View country-specific transcript requirements. If your country is not listed, please refer to the first section labeled "General Transcript Requirements".

Note: All transcripts from U.S. or Canadian schools must be mailed directly to Wichita State University from the school or through one of the following electronic transcript services; Parchment, National Clearinghouse, or Digitary.

The information listed below applies to transcripts from all countries.

Translations: Original transcripts not in English must be accompanied by an official translation in the same format with an original stamp and/or signature of a qualified translator. Translations by students are not accepted.

Failure to List All Schools: If you do not list all schools on your application, you will be expelled, denied admission, or refused transfer credit.

Falsified Documents: You will be denied admission or expelled if you send falsified transcripts, bank statements, or any other documents.

Transcript Retention Policy: All transcripts will be destroyed after they are scanned into our computer system.

Electronically Submit Your Application Materials: Follow the step-by-step instructions on the How to Apply webpage. You are required to submit final, official educational records after admission. You may present the final document(s) after arrival in Wichita, but the check-in process will be faster if official copies are sent prior to arrival. It is especially important for students with transfer credit to submit official copies of educational records as soon as possible to facilitate the transfer credit process. Without official copies of your educational records you can enroll for one semester only.
