Questions about your final transcripts should be directed to the Office of Admissions (soe.admissions@jhu.edu). All ITGL students who were Admitted with Requirements must send final transcripts to SOE as soon as possible after your degree is conferred.  When you send your official, final transcript with confirmation of your degree conferral, you must follow the same procedures you followed when you sent your initial transcript:

For Degrees Earned at International Institutions

If during your application process you ordered a course-by-course evaluation, you would have your final documentation sent to the same evaluating agency and request an updated evaluation be sent to the School of Education Office of Admissions.

For Degrees Earned at US Institutions

If you have now graduated from a US institution, you would order another transcript that has the degree conferral statement on it. The Office of Admissions accepts certified electronic transcripts directly from issuing institutions by email to soe.admissions@jhu.edu, or you may request your official transcripts to be mailed to the following address:
