Official transcripts can be sent electronically or in paper form. For your transcript to be considered official, it must be sent directly from your high school or delivered (in person or by mail) in a sealed envelope. Your official transcript can also be emailed directly from your high school registrar/school counselor office to Admissions@coppin.edu.

Also make sure to send us your official scores if you’ve earned credit through Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), or College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests.

If you have taken any college coursework or earned any college credits, please submit all official transcript(s) from all other institution(s) attended.

Transcripts from institutions outside of the U.S. and related territories must also include a department-by-department or course-by-course evaluation completed by a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES).
