Submit one official transcript from each college, university and/or professional school you have attended. Transcripts should be sent directly from the issuing institution to Arcadia University Office of Enrollment Management via mail in a sealed envelope or electronically to admiss@arcadia.edu. For students applying to the Public Health, Physician Assistant, or Physical Therapy programs, transcripts need to be sent directly to SOPHAS, CASPA, or PTCAS.

Transcripts must have the appropriate signatures and seals to be considered official. If there are transfer credits on your transcripts, they must include the grade you earned. If they do not, you must submit an official transcript from the original school.

Recommendations must be of a professional or academic nature, and must be submitted via the recommender through the Arcadia graduate application or CAS applications. The recommender may also send a recommendation letter via mail/email to Arcadia.
