Joemonkey Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Hello, I plan to apply this summer to PA programs in California and some in other states. The university I attend doesn’t send out diplomas until August and the official transcripts won’t reflect the bachelor’s degree earned until August also. When I apply on CASPA this summer, will I experience trouble because I won’t have transcripts with degree shown or diploma? There is an opportunity to get a degree verification which shows the student earned bachelor’s degree before diploma is sent or official transcripts reflect degree earned. Does anybody know how I could use this degree verification when applying to show I have earned my degree? Can I submit the degree verification? Any general advice for me? Thank you, J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 It may vary by school, but many people apply without having yet received their degree. You indicate when you will be graduating and then update your status when the degree is awarded. Use a transcript showing your currently completed grades for now.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT2PA Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 You just have to be able to prove your degree is completed prior to matriculation. You're over thinking it. Worst case scenario you have to pay to resend official transcripts if you're accepted to a program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureYearningPA Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I would attach the degree verification to every school on CASPA that allowed me to upload a document. But make sure NOT to submit the application for that school if they want everything to be done at the time of submission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
