INTERNATIONAL TRANSCRIPT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
FOR APPLICATION TO MASON GRADUATE PROGRAMS
This is a guide to help applicants who submit international
transcripts to determine what needs to be submitted with the graduate application.
Please Note: Mason reserves the right to withhold making a decision on your
application until all
requested documents have been received. George Mason University
requires graduate applicants to hold a credential that we evaluate to be
comparable to a four-year
bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited university or college in the
United States. Comparability is determined
by a review of the type and name of your degree program, the rigor and content
of your curriculum and
other factors as required by your Mason graduate program or department.
Credentials We Require
All applicants must submit a complete credential package by
the appropriate deadline. Failure to do so may
result in a late review of your application or denial of admission due
to insufficient academic credentials. Complete credentials include course
transcripts or marks statements for each semester or year completed in your
degree program, and the
degree certificate or diploma if a graduation date, with the name of the
degree, is not shown on the
transcript.
Transcripts and Certificates/Diplomas (Academic Records)
**
• You should follow your home university’s policies for
transcript requests. Universities may charge a small fee for this service.
• Academic records should give detailed information on all
courses/final examinations completed, credit value or hours per course and
grades received.
• If degree conferral (date, type of degree and major) is
not listed on your transcript, you must also provide an official copy of your
diploma or degree certificate.
• All documents must be issued by the degree-granting
university.
• If you have not graduated: you must submit all transcripts
or semester marks statements for all
semesters/years completed to-date. If you are admitted to
Mason, you must provide final university transcripts or marks statements and the
university degree certificate or diploma as soon as they are available.
How To Submit Your Academic Records
Official Documents
• Official documents are issued by the degree-granting
institution and bear the official seals and signatures of the Registrar, Controller of
Examinations or other institutional authority. Official documents may be
printed on original security
paper or be stamped, signed or attested photocopies. Mason understands that, in
some rare cases,
universities issue only one set of originals, so copies are permitted as long
as the attestations are
original.
• Official documents should be sent to Mason directly from
your institution, mailed in sealed envelopes bearing the institution’s name and
address. Please contact your Mason admissions office for the correct delivery address.
• We will accept documents in your possession as long as
they meet our requirements (see above) and are delivered to Mason in their
original sealed, unopened envelopes. We cannot accept documents that have been opened or
that have been viewed by anyone else (including you).
• If you have in your possession your original documents
(issued to you upon graduation) you may have them copied and verified or
attested by your Embassy or Consulate (please note that not all Consulates
provide this service) or
by an office of EducationUSA, Fulbright, Amideast, the British Council, or
other organization recognized by
higher education that can perform this service. There may be a fee. We will
accept these verified
documents as long as they are submitted in sealed, unopened envelopes bearing
the name and address of the
verifying organization. Simply getting documents notarized is NOT acceptable.
• You may also bring your original documents to Mason. We
will copy and attest them and return the originals to you. English Translations
• We require all documents (transcripts, marks statements,
degree certificates or diplomas) to be submitted in the original language,
accompanied by an English translation of each document.
• Some institutions issue original/official documents in
English. These are acceptable.
• We accept translations issued by the institution or a
professional translating service. Translations must be original.
• For information on qualified translators in your area,
please contact the American Translators Association (www.atanet.org) or another recognized translation service such
as University Language Service (http://www.universitylanguage.com/)
• If your translator is located in your home country they
must include evidence of status and qualification to translate into English.
• Self-translated documents are not acceptable.
• Translations must be literal (word-for-word) translation
of each document. The translations must bear an
original signature of the translator with date of
completion. • The translator should give you your translations in sealed
envelopes. You should then send these sealed, unopened envelopes to your
Mason admissions office.
Please note that all official credentials, such as transcripts, marks
statements or degree certificates become the property of Mason once you
submit them with your application.
