Colleges Attended
Requirements
- Report all institutions attended regardless of their relevance to the programs you are applying to. Failure to report an institution may cause your application to be undelivered. This can significantly delay the processing of your application. Report all institutions attended, including but not limited to:
- courses taken in high school for college or university credit
- summer courses
- community college courses
- US military academies (note that this does not include courses on SMART or JST transcripts)
- post-baccalaureate, graduate, and doctoral work
- study abroad (report the US institution you used for study abroad)
- Canadian and foreign work, etc.
- List all institutions on your application even if the coursework completed there was transferred to another institution.
- Report each institution only once, regardless of the number of degrees earned or gaps in the dates of attendance.
- Send official transcripts for each institution (with the exception of study abroad; see Study Abroad and Overseas US Institution Transcripts for more information).
Adding a College or University
Sending Transcripts
For each college or university entered, click Order and select if you are ordering electronic transcripts (recommended) or submitting a transcript via mail. If you are submitting via mail, click the Download Transcript ID button to download and print a transcript matching form. Provide this form to the college's or university's Registrar's Office so that they can send an official transcript to VMCAS.
Note that if you attended a foreign college or university – and depending on your program's requirements – you may be required to send a foreign evaluation. See Sending Official Transcripts to VMCAS for more information.
