Questions about Supporting Documentation?
We recommend using an unofficial transcript or a screenshot of your final class grade.
Please do not send the grades of individual assignments or unconverted "points" .
Acceptable formats include letter grades (A, B, C, etc.) or numerical grades (0 - 100 scale). Pass/Fail is also an acceptable format.
Good Submission:

Unapproved Submission:

You are welcome to submit screenshots, PDFs, or scans for your documents. Please avoid submitting Word documents. Ensure that all images are clear and legible. If submitting a screenshot, make sure the text is large enough to be easily read.
If you are enrolled in multiple classes, please submit your complete transcript. Reimbursement will be provided for courses where you earned a grade of "C" or higher. It is important to note that the reimbursement amount is dependent on the grades attained. Courses that were dropped or not successfully completed will not be eligible for reimbursement.
