Academic Records and Transcripts

The Bloomberg School requires official academic records, transcripts, or mark sheets from ALL colleges, universities, graduate, or professional schools attended. Even if grades and credits from one institution appear on your home institution’s transcript, we require the transcript from the school where the credits originated. This includes dual enrollment courses taken in a U.S. high school.

It is important that you do not send transcripts to the Application System (SOPHAS, SOPHAS Express, DICAS, or HAMPCAS) until you list the institution sending the transcript in the “Colleges Attended” section. You will need to have your CAS ID# included on the Transcript. 

Admissions Services strongly recommends completing the Application System (SOPHAS, SOPHAS Express, DICAS, or HAMPCAS)  academic history with a copy of your transcripts to ensure the information matches correctly. Doing so will prevent discrepancies that will later slow down your application processing and submission.

If you are an international student or a U.S. student who is/has studied outside the U.S. or English Speaking Canada, except for studying abroad, your international academic records must undergo a credentials evaluation.

If you a earned or are earning credits at a university outside of the United States or English-speaking Canada, your application will not be complete without an official course by course credential evaluation based on official transcripts. The credential evaluation must include your coursework from all college-level institutions you  have attended or are currently attending. The Bloomberg School accepts WES ICAP (course-by-course) through the Application System or ECE (course-by-course) sent directly to the Bloomberg School. Instructions are listed on our website. Applicants  will be required to submit your WES evaluation directly through the Application System ( SOPHAS, DICAS, or HAMPCAS). 

SOPHAS Express applicants should send official academic records directly to BSPH Admissions Services. SOPHAS Express applicants submitting a WES ICAP (course-by-course) evaluation should follow these specific guidelines by SOPHAS Express.
