Admission decisions and I-20s/DS-2019 will be made for first-time freshman and first-time graduate applicants based on unofficial copies of transcripts and test scores. However, official copies are required before a student will be allowed to enroll in courses and receive scholarship benefits.
For transfer applicants, official copies of transcripts and test scores are required before admission decisions can be made.
