West Texas A&M University Graduate School requires submission of the following official transcripts*:
- Undergraduate coursework showing an earned bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution
- Transcripts from community colleges or related to high school dual credit are not required
- Graduate coursework (if applicable)
- Non-degree seeking transcripts are not needed unless applicable to the applicant’s program of study
*Individual programs may have additional transcript requirements due to leveling requirements, GPA requirements, and accreditation requirements. Financial Aid may also request additional transcripts as needed for federal funding requirements. For questions or clarification, contact Graduate School at graduateschool@wtamu.edu or (806) 651-2730.
Currently enrolled or former WTAMU students do not need to request their WTAMU transcript.
An official transcript is one that has been officially issued by an institution and received at the Graduate School directly from that institution. Transcripts submitted directly from students or through an unsecured delivery method (i.e. fax or unsecured email) will not be accepted as official. Copies or other versions available through third-party records or websites are also unacceptable.
Requesting Transcripts from Institutions in the United States
- Electronic transcripts must be sent through a secured, third-party service directly to WT Graduate School from the issuing institution (excludes foreign transcripts).
- Examples of electronic transcript services include Speede, Parchment, Credentials Inc., eScrip-Safe, and National Student Clearinghouse, amongst others.
- These services can send the transcripts electronically to graduateschool@wtamu.edu or West Texas A&M University Admissions.
- WT Graduate School cannot accept electronic transcripts directly from an applicant
- Printed transcripts must be sent directly from the institution to WT Graduate School or delivered in a sealed envelope from the institution.
- Unopened documents may be forwarded by mail in the original sealed envelope to Graduate School, WTAMU Box 60215, Canyon, TX 79016
- Official documents in sealed envelopes can also be delivered in person directly to the WT Graduate School for processing.
- Coursework in progress: students who are currently pursuing coursework can send an unofficial transcript to graduateschool@wtamu.edu for review purposes only. An official transcript must be requested once all coursework is finalized and/or the degree is notated. Full admission cannot be granted until the Graduate School receives all official, finalized transcripts.
Requesting Transcripts from Institutions outside the United States
An official Foreign Credential Evaluation Report must accompany each international transcript or mark sheet. A Foreign Credential Evaluation is a review of your academic documents (transcripts, graduate certificates, exit exam, scores, etc.) to provide U.S. equivalency. Your grade point average (GPA) will also be converted to a 4.0 point scale.
Applicants must select one of the university-approved agencies listed on the Foreign Credential Evaluation Services page and visit their website for more information. Each evaluation agency has a separate process for completing an evaluation.
- PLEASE NOTE: The name of required report is listed under each agency on that page. Official reports must be sent to WT Graduate School directly from the evaluation agency through a secure, electronic method or in a sealed envelope through physical mail. If an official report does not include your transcripts or mark sheets, please be sure to provide those additional documents to graduateschool@wtamu.edu. They should be a comprehensive record of all international study completed, detailing courses studied and the grades (marks) received, in the form of a transcript or yearly grade (mark) sheets.
Applicants and students with coursework from foreign institutions where original documents cannot be produced or reproduced should contact the Graduate School directly. The Graduate School will work to verify constraints at those institutions in those countries in order to offer alternatives to this requirement.
International applicants should visit the
International Student Services webpage for more comprehensive information on their admission process and requirements. For questions or clarification on international requirements, contact International Student Services at
internationaladmissions@wtamu.edu or (806) 651-2073.
