Transcripts Needs For Individual Campuses
|
|
While Relay requires transcripts from all institutions of higher education an applicant has attended to be submitted for review, some campuses (state locations) allow an exception and may admit applicants who have only provided their official bachelor’s degree transcript. Transcript exceptions are made at the discretion of the admissions and certification teams.
If the Relay campus does not require all transcripts (listed below), applicants may still be asked to submit unreceived transcripts during the admissions process if more information is needed in order to issue an admissions decision.
Additionally, campuses that require all transcripts (listed below) may waive a transcript requirement in specific instances. This is rare and is done on a case-by-case basis.
