Admitted Students

Official Transcripts and Proof of Degree

All admitted students are required to submit final official transcripts for all years of study (including your final semester/term), along with a proof of degree, graduation certificate, or diploma prior to the start of their first semester in order to attend NYU Tandon. Please note that if you do not submit all required official documentation by the deadline, you will be de-enrolled from classes and your admission may be revoked.

What are "official documents"?

Documents are considered official when they are requested directly from your university’s registrar’s office and sent to NYU Tandon admissions (see instructions below). Documents must be original, watermarked, and have an embossed seal from the institution on diplomas. Sealed photocopies of original documents, attested by the degree granting institution (autonomous college), can also be accepted. Documents will not be considered official if they are opened, copied or scanned by the student. We do not accept credential evaluations such as WES or ECE. Translations are also required for documents issued in a language other than English, in addition to original language transcripts. Translations do not have to be submitted in a sealed envelope. For additional information on specific cases and how to submit your documents, please see below:

United States

Documentation must be requested from your university’s registrar’s office and should include all semesters of study with grades, and include a date that indicates when your degree was awarded/conferred. You do not need to provide a physical diploma from a U.S. institution if your final semester of transcripts indicates a degree was awarded or conferred. Transcripts can be submitted electronically via the transcript service Parchment.

China

CHSI from CSSD verification reports are accepted, but not required. If using CSSD, documentation must indicate a degree was awarded in order for it to be accepted in lieu of the original Certificate of Bachelor’s degree. Submit original language transcripts from all years of study, the Certificate of Bachelor’s degree, the Certificate of Graduation, and full English translations.

India

Individual mark-sheets or consolidated mark-sheets can be submitted. However, please note, copies originally submitted for review purposes will be compared to the official transcripts for accuracy, therefore official documentation should include all course names with grades for all years of study.

Provisional degrees from the autonomous college are accepted in lieu of a final certificate if you have graduated within one year of the term you are admitted into. Please note, provisional degrees are only accepted temporarily, the final graduation certificate will still be required once it is available.

In almost all cases, a passing certificate is NOT accepted in lieu of a degree certificate or a provisional certificate. However, there are two exceptions: for the Savitribai Phule Pune University, we will accept the Passing Certificate as the provisional degree and we will accept the Provisional Passing Certificate from Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute. Please keep in mind, this still does not replace the final graduation/degree certificate.

How to submit official documents

Transcripts and/or Proof of Degree will be considered official ONLY if received directly from your undergraduate institution (electronically or via mail). A document is not considered official if submitted, uploaded, scanned, emailed or opened by the student.

• electronically to engineering.gradinfo@nyu.edu
