3. Obtain the sealed envelopes containing your official transcript with ACT or SAT test scores, the Instructor/Employer Recommendation and the School Report from the appropriate persons.

   The official record should be as complete as possible up to the time the application is submitted. If the student attended more than one secondary school or college, a transcript must be submitted from each school or college. Test results are usually included on the high school transcript. In the event this information is not included, the applicant must have the appropriate testing organization send the score directly to the Office of Admission.

4. Submit all items and your application fee ($50 for U.S. citizens and $75 for international applicants) in the application envelope.
