Any separation from the university that led a student to take coursework at another institution must be documented on an official transcript where coursework was taken. Students who take coursework concurrently at another institution must also provide official transcripts as courses are being completed. Students bear the responsibility for providing these transcripts.
Recommendations
Although letters of recommendation are considered optional for most of our undergraduate majors, one may be requested of a student if additional information is needed to make an accurate admission decision. Letters of recommendation are required for nursing graduate program applicants only.
