In addition to transcripts, applicants are required to submit 鈥減roof of degree.鈥�
For U.S. applicants, this is typically a statement that is included on the final transcript confirming the type of degree earned and the date the degree was granted, awarded, or conferred.
For international applicants, the proof of degree is often found on a separate document, such as a diploma or degree certificate. Proof of degree is not the same as graduation date, and therefore the proof of degree requirement cannot be satisfied by a graduation certificate or graduation date.
