Pace University/NACTEL Program - Transcripts & Transfer of Credits

Transcripts & Transfer of Credits

When you submit your application, you will also need to submit all official high school and college transcripts to Pace University. If you are transferring credits from other institutions, you must submit an official catalog or syllabus from each post-secondary school attended, in English, containing course descriptions and degree requirements in order to have transfer credits evaluated.

Transcripts

Before you are officially enrolled in any of the Pace University/NACTEL programs, we must receive all high school and college transcripts and diplomas as well as any leaving examination scores from secondary and post-secondary institutions. You can use our Transcript Request form to provide former schools with direction on how to prepare and where to send transcripts. Find the Transcript Request form on the 'Forms' page of the Student Information Center.

Transcripts are considered official only if they are sent directly to Pace University from the educational institution of origin, or are certified as true copies by the student's Ministry of Education, or a U.S. consular officer. Photocopies and facsimiles are not accepted. Have transcripts sent to:

If transcripts are issued in a language other than English, they must be accompanied by an English translation attested to by the institution of origin, the student's Ministry of Education or a U.S. consular officer.

Please note, the New York Education Department requires high school transcripts regardless of whether or not you attended college.
