Submitting Transcripts for Transfer to Baruch College

I'm applying to transfer to Baruch College and I'm a bit confused about the transcript submission process. Do I need to send official transcripts from all my previous schools, and is there a preferred method for submitting them?

When applying to transfer to Baruch College, yes, you need to submit official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions you've attended, even if you didn't earn a degree from those schools. This can include two-year or four-year colleges, graduate schools, and even if you attended an institution for just one semester or took any college-level classes while in high school.

Most colleges and universities allow transcripts to be sent electronically via a secure, certified transcript service provider. It's often the fastest and most efficient way to have your transcript sent. The service is usually accessible through your previous school's registrar or student services office.

Alternatively, your previous colleges can also mail your official transcripts straight to the Baruch College admissions office. Again, request these through your previous institution's registrar.

Remember, transcripts must be sent directly from the institution to be deemed official. Transcripts submitted by students are typically considered unofficial.

It helps to request and send these transcripts early in your application process to allow enough time for processing and to ensure they arrive by Baruch's transfer application deadline.

In any case, you can also check with the Baruch College admissions office for any preferred method they may have or changes in their submission process. This would ensure that you're following their specific guidelines and maintaining the integrity and acceptance of your document. Remember that misinterpretation or incorrect implementation of these instructions can stall your application, so it's better to ask directly if uncertain.
