Follow the transcript request procedures of your prior school(s) and request that your transcripts be sent from your school(s) to SEU via their official process. (This is usually done using an official transcript website, via email to admission@seu.edu, or by mailing the transcript(s) to us. Homeschooled students, visit this page for details and procedures.)
