What is an Official Transcript?
NSU requires an official transcript to be mailed to the Office of International Programs. An official transcript can be defined by the following:
- Must be sent and sealed by institution of study
- Must be accompanied by an English translation (if original transcript is in English, translation is not needed)
- Must have 4.0 scale GPA listed
If your transcript does not match the above list, your application process may be delayed until official transcript is received.
While digital copies of transcripts can be used to make an admission decision, official transcripts must be received by NSU upon arrival to the U.S.
International Graduate
International applicants applying for graduate study at NSU are required to submit official transcripts of undergraduate coursework.
If your undergraduate credit was earned outside the United States, you may need to submit a course-by-course credential evaluation (WES - World Education Services or ECE) before any credit can be transferred and posted to your Northeastern State University transcript.

Scores from the Test Of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) are a requirement for admission to all NSU programs for all international students.
The NSU TOEFL Institution Code (or Destination Institution Code) is 6485.
The Official Report from the testing company should be mailed to our office address at 600 N Grand Avenue, Tahlequah, OK 74464 USA
