I'm planning to apply as a transfer student to Manhattan College. Can anyone guide me on how to submit my transcripts? Do they require official copies directly from my current college, or can I send them myself?
Manhattan College, like most colleges, requests that official transcripts be sent directly from your current and/or past institutions to their admissions office. This is to ensure the authenticity of the transcripts. You cannot send the transcripts yourself as these would be considered unofficial.
To have your transcripts sent, you would need to request from your current institution that they send your transcripts to Manhattan College. This can often be done online through your college's student portal or registrar's office but the exact process can vary among institutions. There may also be a small fee involved depending on your school's policies.
Once the request is made, your current school will either send them electronically or by mail to Manhattan College. They'll likely send them to the Office of Admissions, but you should double-check the exact mailing address or email address with the Manhattan College admissions office or their website to make sure.
Remember, it's always important to leave enough time for this process as it can take a few weeks for your current school to process your request and for Manhattan College to receive and register your transcripts. Thus, make sure to do this well before any application deadlines.
