Step 3 · Transcripts
To complete an application for admission to the Certificate program, you will need to submit official transcripts from every college or university you have attended. Your transcripts must show satisfactory completion of a bachelor’s degree. BGI does accept official transcripts received electronically from the issuing school’s registrar.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Opened or tampered transcript envelopes or transcripts coming from any other source other than the schools (or associated clearing house service) themselves are considered unofficial and unacceptable.

FOREIGN TRANSCRIPTS: If you have studied outside of the U.S., your foreign academic credentials and official transcripts will need to be evaluated by an approved agency recognized by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) to determine the degree equivalent within the U.S. educational system. You will need to pay for and provide this information. Please contact the Admissions Department for more information.
