<p class="MsoNormal">We have the same issue at LSUS. They want transcripts from even one-off courses attended somewhere in the past. This became especially problematic for those with foreign degrees. To mitigate this somewhat, a number of years ago our grad

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I was wondering how each of your institutions handle transcripts for doctoral applicants. Students typically attend multiple institutions (community colleges or in universities other than in their
institution of graduation) while earning their bachelor's degrees. At ULM, we require transcripts from each institution of attendance and not simply a final transcript from the university of graduation. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Is there a reason we would need to request all bachelors level transcripts from every university/college that a student has ever attended for someone applying for a doctoral degree? Shouldn't a
final transcript (which has a record of transfer courses) from an institution of graduation, suffice? I was always told this is a UL system policy, but I don't find that verbiage anywhere. I am trying to streamline our application process. My question relates
to undergraduate transcripts alone. We require the submission of all graduate level transcripts<o:p></o:p></span></p>
