Official Transcript Evaluation
An Official Transcript Evaluation is required if educated outside of the U.S. or a U.S. territory (must be original). The agency must be a member of www.NACES.org (General report for High School, Detailed or Course-By-Course Report with GPA for college or university – Masters students must have an equivalent of a Bachelor's degree in the US; Doctorate students must have the equivalent of a Master's degree in the US). An evaluation is also required for any of the following circumstances:
• A high school diploma that is non-English
• A higher education institution transcript that is non-English

Transcript Waiver Requests
Wilmington University adheres to policies regarding applicants who wish to waive transcripts from previously attended post-secondary institutions. High school transcripts will not be waived for applicants who transfer less than 15 post-secondary credits. Applicants must submit their request in writing to the Director of Admissions. Requests must include the name of the institution, dates of attendance, and the reason for the request. Transcripts may be waived for three reasons: 1) The institution was not accredited at the time of the student’s attendance; 2) The institution is no longer in existence and transcripts are unable to be retrieved; and 3) The student withdrew from courses prior to completing one term, as defined by that institution. Requests are reviewed and investigated by the Director of Admissions and can take up to one month to complete.
