All official transcripts (raised seal with Registrar's signature, security paper, and without "Issued to Student" stamped on it) from all universities attended noting that credit was accepted toward the completion of the bachelor’s degree are required for applicants holding a bachelor's degree. All official transcripts showing the completion of the bachelor’s, master's or higher degree are required for applicants holding a master's or higher degree. These transcripts must be on file in the Admissions Office of the Troy University campus to which the student is applying. The Admissions office will assist students in completing transcript requests. Once the Application for Admission is on file, all transcripts submitted become the property of Troy University and will not be returned.
