Paper Transcripts

Official transcripts can be sent directly to the Office of Enrollment Management. If you are sending an official transcript that you received from your registrar's office, it must remain in the original, sealed envelope.

Final Transcripts

Final transcripts showing completion of work-in-progress and/or degree awarded must be sent to Enrollment Management and must be received no later than the end of the first semester of your enrollment. Failure to do so will result in your disenrollment at MUSC.

International Transcripts

Academic records from foreign institutions must be provided in English and must be certified or validated as true by a university or government official. Most programs at MUSC require that transcripts be evaluated by professional agencies and submitted to MUSC in unopened envelopes showing the equivalency of work completed outside the United States. The following websites provide more information about international transcript evaluation agencies:

Transcript Retention

Should you not be accepted, transcripts submitted to MUSC will be retained for a period of one year to assist you in reapplying. After one year, transcripts are destroyed and official copies must be resubmitted.

Special Waivers

Transcripts from institutions where the applicant did not earn a degree may be waived with special approval if the coursework was taken more than 20 years ago, and the applicant is applying to a program that requires a bachelors degree. If you meet the above requirements, you may submit a petition for a transcript waiver to oesadmis@musc.edu. This is not a guaranteed waiver.
