Graduate Certificates require the submission of the official transcript that shows your bachelor’s degree awarded. One official transcript issued by the institution where the bachelor’s degree was earned is required. If the transcript does not show the date the degree was awarded, a diploma is required. All records submitted must be in the native language - any credentials written in languages other than English must be accompanied by a certified English translation. Colorado State University transcripts are not required. U.S. degrees must be from a regionally accredited institution to qualify for CSU graduate admission (graduate certificate or degree program).
