pierpont degree plan question - soren0129 - 04-24-2023
I'm foreign with american citizenship and i completed my high school in overseas and i already have the transcript translated into English
I know pierpont requires the original transcripts but would they accept the translated pdf transcript?
RE: pierpont degree plan question - rachel83az - 04-24-2023
Do you have an American address? If you don't, everything else is moot.
As to your transcript, that depends on a few things:
1. How long ago you graduated. If it's only been 2 or 3 years, the transcript is more important than if you graduated 10 or 15 years ago.
2. Who translated the transcript? A generic Spanish to English translator or an actual academic evaluator like WES?
3. Who would be sending the translated version/can it be verified?

yes i have an american address
1 I graduated in 2021
2. was a certified translation shop
3. The translation shop only sent me the pdf, I would have to print a physical version but it is a certified translation with a contact details and ATA member id
I would also have to send it myself either by mail or email
do you think it would work?

PDFs themselves are fine. But if it was only translated and not evaluated, Pierpont might not accept it. Since it's free to apply, it doesn't hurt to do so and to see what they say. However, they might demand that you have it evaluated by WES, SpanTran, or something similar.

Olá meu amigo soren0129! Do you already have a degree plan in place for your Pierpont BOG AAS? Have you created a spreadsheet of the requirements and electives you want to take? Even though there is a viable degree path on the WIKI for the Pierpont BOG AAS - You may want to fill us in with more details from the template and last post addendum here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-New-to-DegreeForum-How-this-Area-works
1) You've graduated in 2021, it's not yet 2 years (fully, until roughly September or their latter terms)
2) I would recommend getting some Sophia.org credits and any graded credits (ASU $25, 1 credit course on the WIKI plan)
3) Apply when you have completed your ASU and the Sophia.org credits that can go towards the entire degree
For reference, the Pierpont WIKI and within it, a possible ladder to UMPI later: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Pierpont_C%26TC
My suggestion is to get the ASU 1 credit course done for $25, do the Sophia.org credits until you have all the 60+ credits you need, then apply!
