How do I submit my transcripts or GED to the Gadsden State Admissions Office?

 

What’s the difference between an official and an unofficial transcript?

  • An official paper transcript is sent in a sealed envelope from the issuing institution.
  • An electronic transcript is considered official if sent through a secure transcript service and the intended party is the direct email recipient. If emailed to the requestor, who then forwards it, it will be considered unofficial.
  • An electronic transcript which is printed then re-scanned in an email is considered unofficial.
 

How can I submit official high school or college transcripts to Gadsden State?

  1. Request that your school mail your transcripts to P.O. Box 227, Gadsden, AL 35902.
  2. Submit them in person in the sealed envelope from the issuing school.
  3. Send an official electronic (PDF) transcript via a secure network such as Parchment to admissions@gadsdenstate.edu.
