Official (institution-sealed envelope) transcripts for all undergraduate and graduate college history. Official transcripts may be mailed by the institution or student (college-sealed envelopes must remain sealed) or delivered. 
    
   Note: Students who do not meet the 3.0 GPA requirement or who have been out of college for an extended period of time may be considered for provisional acceptance and take nine (9) graduate credits, which count toward their degree or certification.
