Submit Transcripts
For EWU Graduate School Applications:
Most EWU graduate programs only require one transcript. A degree-bearing transcript (with a bachelor’s or master’s degree) and at least two year’s worth of credits on it is required. If not, please submit transcripts with your last 2 years’ worth of credits.
- Go to the transcript website for the prior university where you earned your highest degree (bachelor’s or master’s).
- Order an electronic, official transcript (If the prior college only has mail as an option, expect them to take 4-6 weeks for them to arrive.)
- Have it sent to Eastern Washington University
Music and EDS in School Psychology applicants must provide an official transcript from all prior colleges attended. For questions, please review the program application instructions on the program website.
For Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Communication Sciences & Disorders Applicants: all official transcripts should be submitted directly to PTCAS, OTCAS, or CSDCAS.
