Transcripts FAQ
An official transcript is a transcript sent to us by the school itself or a service provider such as Credentials Inc., Parchment, and National Student Clearinghouse.
Mailed transcripts must arrived to us in a sealed envelope. Any transcript that arrives already opened will be considered unofficial.
Electronic transcripts must be sent to us by the school you attended; we cannot accept transcripts from applicants/students. We do not accept transcripts attached as PDFs, pictures, or screenshots as official transcripts.
DISCLAIMER: Please be aware that if the Office of Admissions does receive an official transcript transmitted via the SPEEDE system (either directly from the sending institution or a third-party transcript provider), we may use it to evaluate and process your application. Therefore, as an applicant or current student, it is important you remain aware that information on transcripts submitted via SPEEDE may not be accurate. It is to your benefit to have the transcript sent to the Office of Admissions either electronically to SONTranscripts@ttuhsc.edu or through the mail.
Electronic Transcripts
It is highly recommended that official electronic transcripts be sent to sontranscripts@ttuhsc.edu. Make sure to keep the confirmation email/transcript order receipt, in the event you need it at some point in the application process.
Mailed Transcripts
If you need to directly mail an official transcript to the TTUHSC School of Nursing, please use the following address:
TTUHSC SON TRANSCRIPTS
3601 4th Street, STOP 8212
Lubbock, TX 79430-8212
*Joint Services Transcripts can only be sent to the TTUHSC Registrar’s Office. Once they receive your JST, they will forward it along to our office.
**Our office does not receive a confirmation when a transcript has been delivered via mail.
Transcripts are processed in the order in which they are received by our office. During high volume seasons (such as the beginning/end of a semester, or right before an application is about to close), please allow for extended processing times.
Once your transcript has been entered into Slate, the updated receipt status will be reflected in your application portal. Your Slate application portal is the best source for updates about your application status and any pending documents you may have.
All transcripts must be received by our office by the application deadline. As long as your transcript was received before the application closed, then it will be accepted with your application even if the application closing date has passed. If your transcript will not arrive until after the application has closed, please reach out to applynursing@ttuhsc.edu to let us know that your transcript will be late.
Your Slate application portal is the best resource for updates to your application. If it has been over three weeks since you placed your transcript order and your Slate portal has not been updated, email applynursing@ttuhsc.edu with the following information to help us investigate further:
- The school the transcript was from and when you placed the order,
- Whether it was sent electronically or by mail,
- Your transcript order receipt/confirmation email,
- Any other names your transcript could be under (maiden name, name change, etc.)
You can submit your application at any point in the application cycle, whether or not all of your supplemental items have arrived to our office yet. You have until the application closing date to submit all other supplemental items.

FOR ALL GRADUATE PROGRAMS (MSN, POST-MASTER’S CERTIFICATE, BSN TO DNP, AND POST-MASTER’S DNP)
We only require a foreign transcript evaluation if the degree needed to enroll in
the program is from outside the United States. For example, if you are applying to
the MSN or BSN to DNP program and your BSN degree is from outside the United States
or if you are applying to the Post-Master’s Certificate or Post-Master’s DNP program
and your MSN degree is from outside the United States.
If you do need to submit a foreign transcript evaluation for any of the graduate programs,
please note that we require an official Credential Evaluation Service Academic Report
from CGFNS, Inc. You can find information on ordering on the CGFNS International website.
