If you haven’t already done so, please have your prior institution(s) send us your official transcripts or complete a course-by-course evaluation. If you recently finished a degree, be sure to wait until degree conferral is reflected on your transcript. We require this official documentation from all institutions you attended for credit, including institutions where you did not complete a degree program.
To those who attended a US Institutions, Canadian AAU-Affiliated Schools, or a Non-US Institution for less than one year: you must have one official transcript (sealed and stamped) from each college or university attended for credit sent directly to the Weitzman School Admissions, 110 Meyerson Hall, 210 South 34th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6311. Alternatively, we will accept official electronic transcripts sent directly from the institution to us at admissions@design.upenn.edu. Be sure the electronic transcript is sent to the Weitzman School of Design, and not to the general University of Pennsylvania.
To those who attended Non-US Institutions (except Canadian AAU-Affiliated Schools) for more than one year: and are completing undergraduate and/or graduate degrees from institutions outside of the United States or have completed more than one year of study for credit at a non-US institution, you are required to submit a either a BASIC course-by-course evaluation from World Education Services (WES) or a course-by-course evaluation from Educational Perspectives for each institution. You do not need to send us an official transcript from your school. Credentials received via the WES or Educational Perspectives service are considered official. Both services charge a fee to evaluate your credentials.
We will be contacting those with missing documents soon. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns!
