Applicants should follow the transcript submission process indicated on the Transcript Page. The assessment of a degree from an international institution is based upon the characteristics of a national system of education, the type of institution, the accreditation/recognition, the level of study, and number of years of post-secondary study.
The College of Engineering will evaluate uploaded academic credentials to determine the U.S. degree equivalency and estimated U.S. grade point average.
If you completed coursework for your degree at multiple institutions, please indicate all institutions attended to obtain your degrees on the ApplyWeb application. Please upload unofficial transcripts from each institution attended for review purposes and upload official transcripts or/and graduate certificates as per the requirements below if you receive our admission offer letter and accept it. The College of Engineering reserves the right to verify the accuracy and authenticity of the educational documents submitted.
How to Convert Grades to a U.S. GPA
Calculate a self-reported estimated GPA for all non-U.S. institutions attended. The self-reported estimated GPA indicated on the ApplyWeb application must match the GPA on the Scholaro report.
- Follow the GPA calculation instructions to convert your international average grade point to a U.S. 4.0 scale using the Scholaro GPA Calculator.
- Applicants must select the same grading scale indicated on their transcript to calculate their estimated U.S. GPA.
- The uploaded Scholaro report will be audited against the uploaded transcripts.
- Omission of grades or failure to use the correct grading scale when completing the Scholaro report may lead to the reversal of an offer of admission.
- Enter all your courses, credits/hours, and grades in the same order as they appear on your transcripts into the Scholaro GPA Calculator. Do not omit any grades or courses.
- All applicants who attended non-U.S. institutions must upload both the Scholaro GPA report and a copy of their official transcript for each degree completed or in progress.
- If your institution does not award grades or your grades are not yet awarded, enter 0.0 as your GPA. A Scholaro GPA report is not required from those with no grades.
- Select “United States” and complete the Scholaro report using the United States 4.0 scale if the following is true about your transcript:
- It is from a non-U.S. institution
- The scale for the institution is a 4.0/4.3
- The 4.0/4.3 scale is not listed as an option for your country in Scholaro
- If you are unable to find your institution’s scale for your country, please contact Scholaro GPA Help for assistance.
What should I do if I attended multiple different institutions?
Please submit your academic records from all institutions where you completed coursework toward the degree. Calculate the GPA from each institution and enter the estimated converted GPA in the space provided.
If you have more than one degree, please calculate the GPA(s) for all the degrees, including bachelor’s and/or master’s degrees, according to the appropriate scale.
