MAIL

(The following items must be sent directly to the university by mail.)

1) Submit official transcripts in both your native language and English translation. Transcripts must be mailed directly from the schools where the coursework was completed to THSU at the address shown below.

2) Submit a course-by-course evaluation of all foreign (not from the U.S.) academic transcripts (including U.S. equivalency of degree(s) earned, courses taken, grades for each course, and overall GPA). An official copy of the evaluation must be mailed directly from the evaluation company to THSU. Students have two options to complete this step:

Option A: THSU Submits Transcripts for Evaluation

To have THSU submit your transcripts for evaluation, please submit the $250.00 (USD) Transcripts Evaluation Fee (Pay the fee here). Transcripts will not be submitted for evaluation until the admissions office has received the required fee.

Option B: Student Submits Transcripts for Evaluation

Transcript evaluations will be accepted from any NACES accredited member. You can find a list of NACES member agencies HERE.

It is highly recommended that students who intend to enter the BSTCM or MAc programs submit their transcripts for evaluation to World Education Services (WES) since they will need a WES evaluation in order to take board exams and apply for licensure in the future. See the WES website HERE.
