• Documentation of high school graduation, General Education Degree (GED) completion, or other state-approved equivalency credential
  • If graduated from a foreign high school, an official translation and evaluation of your documents must be submitted through an evaluation service that also determines equivalency to a US high school diploma.
• Official college transcripts from all institutions attended (if applicable)
  • If attended a foreign college or university, an official translation and course-by-course equivalency of your documents must be submitted through an evaluation service.
