- Official transcripts from all institutions attended (including institutions that granted college credit while you attended high school; and those that granted credit for courses not relevant to intended program). To expedite review of your application, unofficial transcripts may be submitted until your official transcripts arrive. Current and former Stony Brook students do not have to request official transcripts from Stony Brook University. For institutions attended abroad, an evaluation by appropriate agency to determine US equivalencies, official transcript and translation are required.
