What are the "official transcripts" that are needed?
A transcript is official when it is issued by the appropriate academic administrative
officer at the school you attended, along with an official seal/stamp and an official
signature on the document(s). Transcripts must be submitted to the program you are
applying in a sealed envelope, stamped across the seal by the appropriate academic
officer. Applicants must submit official transcripts of all work beyond secondary
school, but only upon request from the department. Please request one official transcript
from each institution you have attended. Photocopied documents or documents sealed
by a non-academic representative are NOT official and will not be accepted. Transcripts
not written in English must be accompanied by an official WES translation. Final transcripts state that a degree has been conferred and provide the date of
conferral. A provisional certificate, therefore, is not final but temporary. Students who apply
with a current in-progress transcript and are accepted to the program will be required
to send an official final transcript (and evidence of degree award) for enrollment
to continue at Stony Brook University.
**Stony Brook undergraduate students do not need to submit official Stony Brook University transcripts, please scan unofficial transcripts with your application.**
(Transcripts of both undergraduate and graduate work must be submitted. If a student attended a junior college and these credits are not listed on the senior college transcript with grades, a separate junior college transcript is required.) If transcripts are in a foreign language, certified English translations are required, in addition to the original documents. Stony Brook University uses a 4.0 grading system and if your institution does not use this system (e.g., many institutions in India use a different grading system), then you should request that the institution scale your grades appropriately. DO NOT submit transcripts from high school studies. If your university can electronically send transcripts this is preferred, otherwise, the transcripts must be sent directly to us un-opened by the student.
