Below, you'll find information on how to apply to Chapman as an international student. If you are a U.S. citizen or Permanent Resident, but you attended a university outside the United States, please follow the guidelines below as well. Use this information in conjunction with the program-specific information on our How to Apply page.
Submitting Your Transcripts
As a part of your application, you will be asked to send us your official academic transcripts directly from every bachelor's degree (or higher) granting institution you've attended in both the original language and English. Translations of the document into English must be official word-for-word translations.
If you are admitted to Chapman, you will also need to submit your diploma or degree certificate in both its original language and English.
You may have your school(s) send your official documents on your behalf electronically to admtranscript@chapman.edu or to:
Chapman University
Office of Graduate Admission
One University Drive
Orange, CA 92866
USA
As another option, we also accept official transcripts through TrueCopy. Select “Chapman University” as the recipient of your transcripts.
Please note: copies of official documents (unofficial)* may be submitted in the application for the application review process only. Upon acceptance into one of our programs, official and original documents will be required should you decide to attend Chapman.
* Unofficial transcripts are accepted only for universities located outside the United States. If you are an international student and you obtained (or will obtain) your bachelor's degree (or higher) from a university located in the United States, then official transcripts from that university will be required.
