INFORMATIONPACKET
Ordering Transcripts General Information:
1. We require receipt of official transcripts from:
a. The college which conferred your undergraduate degree.
b. The college(s) where you pursued any graduate education (1 or more courses)
2. If you are currently in the completion phase of a graduate degree, please have your school send us an in-progress official transcript.
3. Any and all education you list in your online application will require an official transcript.
4. Transcripts submitted by fax are considered unofficial and unfortunately will not allow us to submit your file for review by the Admissions Committee.
5. An application file is not considered complete and unable to be sent for review by the Admissions Committee until we have received all official transcripts and letters of recommendation.
How/Where to have your school(s) submit an official transcript for you:
1. Electronic submission: Digital submission typically happens through services such as Parchment or E-scrip: Your school(s) may use this digital submission of official transcripts. If your school has this as an option, we recommend you use it. If you choose the digital submission route, indicate you would like the Official Transcript sent to apply@fielding.edu.
2. Submission by mail: Fielding Graduate University, Office of Admissions, 2020 De La Vina Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93105. Degrees/Education from outside the United States:
If your degree was obtained outside of the U.S., an International Transcript Evaluation is required. The process entails ordering an International Transcript Evaluation that lists each course with grades and a cumulative GPA, generally called a “course by
course” evaluation. You will provide an original transcript to the evaluation service according to their process, and request that they send the evaluation directly to Fielding. We accept evaluations from the following services: • International Education Research Foundation (IERF) • World Education Services (WES)
• National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) – You may choose any of the ‘current’ agencies listed. The evaluation can take a few weeks or more so please be sure to order this with enough time for us to receive the evaluation by the application deadline. Some agencies have an option to expedite evaluations for an additional fee.
