If you have attended any college or university outside of the United States during or post-high school, unofficial transcripts from each institution you have attended are sufficient for initial evaluation.   However official  transcripts & exam results from each international institution you have attended will be required at the time of enrollment.   At any time, you may be contacted to submit official/verified transcripts. To be considered for admission, simply upload your transcripts through the application. If you were not able to upload the transcripts in your application, you can log back in Maryville Portal (MVP) to upload them. Or, you can email legible PDF copies of transcripts to international@maryvillecollege.edu 

Official transcripts showing grades for all years of secondary/high school and official exam results or certificates from your country will be required before you enroll at Maryville College.

Transcript Information

When applying to a university or college in the US as an international student, you should request official transcripts that meet the following guidelines:

• Original: Transcripts should be sent directly from the university in an original, sealed envelope.
• English: Transcripts should be in English, or include a certified translation. The translation should be issued by the school or a certified translator.
• Official paper: Transcripts should be on official school transcript paper.
• No photocopies: Photocopies are not considered official.
• University stamp: Transcripts should include the university stamp, seal, hologram, or registrar’s signature.
• Academic history: Transcripts should include a truthful report of your full academic history.
• Course-by-course list: For university-level study, transcripts should include a course-by-course list with the number of credits and marks received.

What Do We Consider Official Records?

All academic records sent to Maryville College directly from the institution attended are considered to be official records. All records must be original or certified copies with the seal of the issuing institution or signed by an appropriate authority.

All international documents must be translated into English.

What is an Official transcript?

An official transcript is one that is sent directly from the attended university to Maryville College in the original sealed envelope and on the official paper of the school. If the institution does not issue official transcripts but only gives the student a diploma and mark sheet at the time of graduation, Maryville College must receive a certified copy of the documents.

What is a Certified copy?

A certified copy is a document that has been verified by a prothonotary of the court (the equivalent of a Notary Public in the U.S.). The prothonotary of the court will verify that they have seen the original document by taking a copy of it and then certify that it is a true copy of the original.
For international students already in the U.S. who may have difficulty getting transcripts due to political situations in their countries, but have an original copy in their possession, university officials (Notary) will review the documents, make photocopies and initial that they are originals. For internal purposes, this is considered a certified copy.

What is a Certified Translation?

• Translations issued or verified by the issuing institution, or translated by a member of ATA (American Translators Association).
• Translations issued by the Ministry of Education (translations done by other government ministries are not valid).
• For Iran only: Translations issued by the Ministry of Justice.
• Translations completed by National Center for Interpretation Services or by a NACES member (Evaluations must be accompanied by the original transcript. Evaluations submitted without a transcript will be considered unofficial).
