Transcript

Send Official Undergraduate or Higher Transcript

As a student enrolled in a master’s degree, you must provide documentation of your conferred bachelor’s degree or higher from an institution whose accreditation is recognized by CHEA. You will not be eligible to register for courses until you have demonstrated conferral of a bachelor’s degree or higher.

You may provide an unofficial transcript of your bachelor’s or graduate degree (with conferral) or a copy of your diploma to your admissions representative so you may be permitted to register for courses. Students will then have 8 weeks from the start of their first course to submit their official transcript and complete their record.

Please have official transcripts mailed to:

APUS - Attn: Student Records
111 West Congress Street
Charles Town, WV 25414
