Transcripts
Transcripts are the official records of your academic performance at Tulane University. They provide a comprehensive account of the courses you've completed, the grades you've earned, and any honors or awards you've received. Transcripts serve several important purposes:
- Academic Verification: Transcripts are often required by employers, graduate schools, and professional licensing boards to verify your educational background.
- Continued Education: If you plan to pursue further studies, whether at the graduate level or in a different institution, transcripts are a key requirement for admissions.
- Professional Licensure: Certain professions, such as nursing or engineering, may require you to submit transcripts as part of the licensing process.
- Personal Records: Transcripts can serve as a personal record of your academic achievements and can be a source of pride and motivation as you progress in your career.
Diplomas
Your diploma is the tangible representation of your academic success. It proudly displays your name, degree earned, and the official seal of Tulane University. It is not just a piece of paper; it is a symbol of your dedication, perseverance, and the knowledge and skills you have acquired throughout your academic journey.
Apostille
An Apostille is an internationally recognized form of document authentication. It is a certificate that confirms the authenticity of your academic documents, such as your diploma and transcripts, and makes them legally valid for use in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
You may need an Apostille if you plan to:
- Work Abroad: Many countries require an Apostille to recognize foreign educational qualifications for employment or professional licensing.
- Further Studies: If you're pursuing postgraduate studies in a foreign institution, an Apostille may be requested during the admission process.
- Immigration: Some countries require an Apostille as part of their immigration and visa application process.
- Legal Procedures: If you're involved in legal matters abroad, an Apostille may be necessary to validate your academic records.
