Transcripts

The 杏吧视频 requires that foreign transcripts, academic records, mark sheets and degree certifications be submitted through LSAC鈥檚 Credential Assembly Service (CAS). Be sure that all educational records are submitted in the original language.聽 If the transcript or other documents are not in English, a translation must be included. More time is usually required to receive foreign transcripts. If you completed any post-secondary work outside the U.S. (including its territories) or Canada, you must use CAS for the evaluation of your foreign transcripts.

This service is included in the CAS registration fee.
