Submitting Your Transcripts to SIU

Transfer students who have taken college-level work at other institutions must submit an official transcript from each college or university attended to the Office of the Registrar - Articulation & Evaluation.

  • Transcripts must be less than 30 days old to be considered official.
  • They must be sent in a sealed envelope from the issuing institution.
  • Transcripts may also be emailed directly from the institution to Articulation & Evaluation.
  • Transcripts may also be sent via a third party transcript vendor, such as:
    • Parchment
    • National Student Clearinghouse
    • Credential Solutions
    • Scrip-Safe
  • Faxed transcripts or PDF copies of transcripts sent by the student are not considered official and will not be accepted.

Failure to comply with this policy or failure to indicate all previous institutions attended on the Application for Undergraduate Admission, or incorrect information regarding the status at other institutions can result in withdrawal of admission, dismissal, or denial of credit. Transfer students admitted on the basis of incomplete transcripts must submit complete transcripts prior to being allowed to register for a second term at SIU. A registration hold is used to manage policy compliance.

    International Freshman Applicants

    • Submit high school transcripts (typically covering 3–5 years of secondary education).
    • If your country requires exit exams (e.g., Secondary School Certificate), include those documents.
    • Include university transcripts even if you have earned fewer than 12 credit hours.

    International Transfer Applicants

    • 12–25 university credit hours: Submit both high school and university transcripts.
    • 26 or more credit hours: Submit only your university transcript.
