All transcripts submitted to the Office of Graduate Admissions must be officially translated into English for review. Transcripts from some international institutions do not specifically state that a degree has been granted. If your transcript does not show that your degree has been conferred or awarded, you will also need to submit an official (attested) diploma.

We will accept a provisional certificate of degree as final. If you are admitted, you will need to provide proof that you have completed your degree in order to register for courses beyond the first semester.

Download the International Student Financial Statement (ISFS) form and follow the instructions carefully. This form will ask you to attest that you have enough funds for all tuition, fees and personal expenses for at least one year of graduate study at Binghamton University. In addition to the ISFS form, you must provide financial documentation that supports what you have indicated as your source of funding on the ISFS form. Most often, this means providing official bank statements or official scholarship/sponsorship letters from agencies or governments.

You will be asked to upload the page of your passport that includes your name, citizenship and date of birth.
