Transcript Policies
Official Transcript Submission Policy
All students are required to submit official transcripts from all previously attended post-secondary institutions within the first two semesters of enrollment at Wilmington University. A high school diploma with a graduation date or GED is required for students transferring fewer than 15 credits from other post-secondary institutions. Credits earned at Wilmington University cannot be applied to satisfy this high school transcript submission policy and related high school transcript waiver policy.
Students must submit all required transcripts before financial aid will be awarded.
Official transcripts are required within the first two semesters of enrollment in order to continue enrollment for future semesters.

Official Transcript Evaluation
An Official Transcript Evaluation is required if educated outside of the U.S. or a U.S. territory (must be original). The agency must be a member of www.NACES.org (General report for High School, Detailed or Course-By-Course Report with GPA for college or university – Masters students must have an equivalent of a Bachelor's degree in the US; Doctorate students must have the equivalent of a Master's degree in the US). An evaluation is also required for any of the following circumstances:

• A higher education institution transcript that is non-English
• An institution not recognized by the Department of Education or an approved accrediting body
Transcript Waiver Requests
Wilmington University adheres to policies regarding applicants who wish to waive transcripts from previously attended post-secondary institutions. High school transcripts will not be waived for applicants who transfer less than 15 post-secondary credits. Applicants must submit their request in writing to the Director of Admissions. Requests must include the name of the institution, dates of attendance, and the reason for the request. Transcripts may be waived for three reasons: 1) The institution was not accredited at the time of the student’s attendance; 2) The institution is no longer in existence and transcripts are unable to be retrieved; and 3) The student withdrew from courses prior to completing one term, as defined by that institution. Requests are reviewed and investigated by the Director of Admissions and can take up to one month to complete. Credits earned at Wilmington University cannot be applied to satisfy the high school transcript submission policy and related high school transcript waiver policy.
