FAQs / Transcripts
How do I submit an official transcript?

What if I went to school in another country?
Foreign transcripts must be translated and notarized by a professional translation service. Copies will be accepted.
Can I have the school email a transcript?
No. Electronic transcripts must come directly from a 3rd party transcript service.
Can I submit an emailed transcript if it came from a 3rd party service to my email first?
No. For the transcript to be official, it needs to come directly from the 3rd party service to PSEJATC.
What if I got an official transcript mailed to me, but I accidentally opened it?
Once opened, the transcript becomes unofficial, and you will need to request a new one.
My transcript says, “Integrated Math”, will that meet the math requirement?
Yes, one (1) full year of Integrated Math with a grade of “C” or better, will meet the math requirement for all three (3) programs.
What happens if I took Algebra, but the course name on the transcript does not say Algebra?
You must have your school provide a course description for the class.
Can I submit my diploma as proof of graduation?
