Transcripts and Diplomas

When reviewing your education records, we have specific criteria for documentation verification.  Please refer to the chart below to identify which documents to include in your profile.

Important Things to Note:

• We accept clear, legible photocopies (not originals) of all documents listed in the "Accepted" column

• You may open the envelope to upload your transcripts; we still consider them official

• If you changed your name, you must add any previous first and/or last names to the Personal Information section; documents with name(s) differing from what's listed on your Aspire profile or vice versa will not be accepted

• We only accept emailed copies of official transcripts if they come directly from your college/university - if you wish you have your official transcripts emailed, click here for more information
