One official copy of the transcript of all previous college work is required from each institution previously attended. Each transcript must be in an envelope from the institution closed with the institution's official seal and must be submitted unopened by the applicant with the rest of the application packet. If an institution's policies do not permit it to send official transcripts to applicants for use with self-managed applications, the transcripts may be sent directly to the OAA using the address given previously under the heading "Self-Managed Applications." In this instance, applicants should indicate on the application that the transcripts will be sent separately by the appropriate deadline.
