  2. Certified copy of the student’s General Educational Development (GED) certificate or GED transcript.

Transcripts must bear the authorizing signature and the official seal of the issuing institution and be sent directly by the school or college to the Admissions office or sealed in a school or college envelope and mailed or delivered to Admissions by the applicant. Transcripts that are scanned, photocopied, or unsealed will be considered unofficial and will not be accepted.
