You must have one set of official transcripts from every college and university from which you earned a bachelor's degree or higher sent to ASU. If your school(s) cannot send them directly to ASU, you may send them yourself, making sure they meet one of the following requirements: Original academic credentials issued by the registrar of the institution attended, bearing the original raised or colored seal of the institution and the signature of the institution’s registrar, academic official or recognized international organization. Photocopies of original academic credentials that have been verified as true copies of the original by a responsible official of the institution attended or by an education representative of the country’s government or embassy. Each page must bear the verifying official’s signature and stamp. Verifying officials include the U.S. consulate/embassy in your home country (e.g., U.S. consulate in India) or country-specific embassy/consulate if you are in the U.S. (e.g., Indian Consulate/Embassy in U.S.).

Contact information of two references is required. References will be contacted via email to submit a letter of recommendation.
