Document Requirements and Submission Information

Review the list of required documents in your Document Log which can be viewed by clicking Document Log under the Academic Plan & Records dropdown at the top of your ecampus. Documents need to be uploaded to the student portal directly by the student with the exception of the official high school or GED Transcript which must be received directly from the granting institution.
