Official College Transcripts
Transcripts must be mailed directly from each college/university you attended to the B-W Admission Office, including courses that may be recorded on another school's transcript. All coursework attempted is part of your academic record and considered in the application process, even if that coursework is no longer consistent with your academic goals. Often there is a small transaction fee (usually a few dollars), so it is a good idea to check with each school before sending your request. Transcript Request Form

In addition, any student who has completed less than 25 transferable semester hours of college/university coursework must submit the high school transcript or GED.
