• The approved format for emailed PDF copies of transcripts is to send them in a secure PDF with a separate following email containing the password. If the PDF document is not secure, an email from our office is sent to your university requiring their confirmation that the transcript/documents are considered official. They will need to confirm with a "Yes" for your documents to be processed.
• Important note: Please be aware that additional requirements can be added to your checklist if documents sent by your university are deemed incomplete. If you are uncertain whether your transcript lists your graduation information and degree earned, please contact your school before requesting your transcript and ensure the following:
  1. Degree awarded or graduation information including specific degree earned and date awarded
  2. Official degree certificate/diploma
  3. There are also country specific guidelines when sending us your documents. Please visit International Academic Transcripts for more detailed information.

• We require a complete academic history of all post-secondary education. If official documents are unavailable for a verifiable reason, we will need full color copies of your transcripts (mark sheets, diploma supplement, etc.), degree certificate (diploma), and translations of all documents not issued in English. Any document that is relevant to the program to which you are applying will need to be evaluated by an evaluation company listed on our website at International Academic Transcripts. Proof of hardship in obtaining the transcripts/documents will also be requested of you, such as articles, official notices, and any correspondence you may have had with the institution where it is explicitly stated that they will NOT provide your transcripts.
• If you have asylum or refugee status, we will need a color scanned copy of your I-94 or immigration documents that verify asylum or refugee status.
• If you meet either of the above criteria, we may also ask for further documentation which we will request by email if needed. Once we receive your documents, it may take time to review them and determine the next steps. If you do not have copies of your documents, please let University Admissions know so we can try to find another solution.

CAS (Centralized Application Services) is a completely separate entity from Loma Linda University. It is a third-party application service that has their own set of requirements. Sending us your documents does not fulfill your CAS requirements, as we do not transfer documents to them. If you are experiencing any issues with your CAS application, please reach out to them for more guidance.

Please check your email for access to your application portal. Your login information will become active only after you have submitted your CAS application and received an email with instructions and a link to log in to the portal.

If documents are sent to CAS and verified as official, we can accept them as official as well, and they will be marked as received on your application checklist. However, we cannot accept documents as official from PASS.
