How to Send Official Transcripts

Important Note
In order for a transcript to be considered official, it must travel directly from the undergraduate institution to Southern Methodist University.
If a transcript passes through student hands, it will be rendered unofficial.

Prospective SMU Students can successfully complete the Admissions process with unofficial transcripts, but in order to continue on in the program - they will be required to submit their official transcripts by the beginning of their second term. Students receive communication from their Admissions Counselor during the process about this requirement. Students also receive communications directly from the University regarding this requirement once they are enrolled, during their first term.

If official transcripts are not received by the beginning of your second term, a hold will be placed on your account that will delay registration for classes. In order to avoid any delays in registration, please ensure that you are submitting your Official Transcripts early.

Please use either of the methods listed below to submit your official transcripts.

For any questions or to follow up on official transcripts, please contact the Admissions Team at admissions@datascience.smu.edu.
