Guidelines

Enter all colleges you attended in accordance with the following guidelines:

List All Institutions: Include all schools from which you have received college credit, including colleges where you completed dual credit coursework and any schools you plan on attending between now and the completion of the Fall 2024 term (or Spring 2025 if you already know which courses you will be taking.)

Include foreign colleges. You do not need to list a foreign college if it was part of an official study abroad program AND the coursework appears on the transcript of the sponsoring U.S. college or university.

How to Enter a College Attended

Click on the [Add College or University] button.

Enter the country, state and a distinctive part of the college or university name, and a list of matching institutions will appear.
Keep in mind that the less you type in the [College Name] field, the more results you will get in return. Try only entering words that are unique to your college name.
- For example, if searching for The University of Texas at Austin, just enter Austin. Click the [Search] button to obtain your search results.
Select the correct institution and click [Select] to add the school to your list of Colleges Attended. This will fill in the required [Institution Information] fields for the college listing.

Entering Attendance Dates

These must include FUTURE coursework dates too, if applicable!

Including Future Coursework: If you will take coursework in the future, you must list your end date as that future term.
- For example, if you attended The University of Texas at Austin since Fall 2021 and you will be taking courses through Spring 2025, your attendance dates would be: Fall 2021 - Spring 2025.
You may make revisions to this section any time during the application process. You will be able to add new colleges/universities as well as newly completed coursework.
