Submit Academic Records and Transcripts

College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business and College of Engineering Graduate Applicants

  • Submit official transcript(s) from all post-secondary institutions attended with an original signature of a school official or an original school seal. If transcripts are in a language other than English, an official translation from the school, recognized translator or translation verified by a United States Embassy or Consulate must accompany the native language transcript. 
  • Transcripts must arrive in a sealed envelope, directly from the sending institution or recognized translator. Faxed, emailed, and/or notarized scanned copies will not be accepted. Your transcripts will be evaluated internally.


All Other Graduate Applicants 

  • Graduate applicants must have an official report of course-by-course evaluated transcripts of all post-secondary work from outside the United States sent to Â鶹ÊÓƵ directly from one of the evaluating agencies listed in the previous link.
  • The Â鶹ÊÓƵ Admissions Office does not evaluate transcripts internally, so you do not need to send official transcripts to our office. These agencies may deliver your evaluation by email at LUAdmTran@Lamar.edu or by mail.
