Next Steps
Graduate Transcript Submission
Official transcripts documenting that the required degree was completed prior to the start of graduate study at USF must be received before a second semester registration is permitted. During the first semester, the Office of Admissions will place a registration hold on the student’s file pending receipt of the official transcripts. Submit official transcripts of all bachelors and/or masters transcripts and any other transcript with graduate work (including translations and evaluations for international transcripts) directly to the Office of Admissions (Student Services Building, SVC1036) or electronically.
The University of South Florida (School Code 001537) will accept electronic transcripts as official if they are submitted through one of the below providers:
Electronic Services Providers
- FASTER/SPEEDE*
- Parchment Exchange (including Naviance)
- National Student Clearinghouse
- Credential Solutions
- Scribbles Software
- AARTS and SMART transcripts (military service only, not required for admission)
- SCOIR
* FASTER and SPEEDE/ExPRESS are sets of predefined data formats used by educational institutions to electronically exchange student records and transcripts. Institutions must subscribe to the FASTER and/or SPEEDE/ExPRESS systems to participate in this exchange.
Note: Hard copies of official transcripts must be submitted in a sealed envelope directly from the institution. If you pick up your official transcript and bring it to the admissions office at any USF campus, make sure that the envelope has not been opened. Once opened, the transcript is no longer considered official.
