Acceptable Official Documents - International

Transcripts

All transcripts must be issued by the school, in the original language; English translations are also required if the official transcript is not in English.

International transcripts are considered official if they are submitted to our office in ONE of the following formats:

1. The transcript is submitted in an envelope that is sealed and stamped by your school or the Department of Education in your home country. Official transcripts can be mailed directly from your institution or hand-delivered in a sealed envelope prior to enrollment at OSU. See examples of properly sealed envelopes for official transcripts.
2. The transcript is sent to our office electronically at international@okstate.edu from your school or school representative via their official email account or transcript e-service.
3. The transcript is sent to our office electronically at international@okstate.edu from your embassy or home government.

Scanned or photo copies of transcripts from international institutions are accepted for admission purposes ONLY. You can send us copies of your transcripts by email to international@okstate.edu or by uploading it through your application portal. In order to avoid delays in enrollment, applicants who are offered admission to OSU must submit official transcripts prior to enrollment at OSU.

Please note that official transcripts are required for admission purposes and transfer credit evaluation for any coursework completed in the United States.

If you plan to send the official transcripts to our office by mail, make sure that the documents be sent to the following address:
