Recommendation Forms
When you fill out your application, you will be asked to provide contact information for those individuals providing recommendations. An automatic email will be sent to them with a link to use to upload your recommendation(s). No letters of recommendation are to be mailed or emailed to us. You may change/remind your recommenders through the Graduate Admissions Portal.
Official Transcripts
Graduate students are required to submit official transcripts from each institution attended. To be considered official, we must receive the transcript directly from the institution (excluding international transcripts) either by mail or through electronic delivery. SCSU requires official transcripts of all previous academic work from every college or university attended from which overall undergraduate and graduate grade point averages can be calculated. The cumulative grade point average for all undergraduate courses at each institution will be used in the calculation of the undergraduate grade point average. The same process of considering grades of all graduate courses is used to calculate the overall graduate grade point average.
Applicants applying to Southern’s graduate programs, who participated in a Southern-supported study-abroad program while enrolled as an undergraduate, may have their international credit evaluated by the Office of International Education, in lieu of having a transcript evaluation performed by a NACES member evaluation agency.
For documents that require a signature for receipt, e.g., FedEx-ed documents due to deadlines, send to:

Other Documents (Letter of Intent, Alien Registration Card)
These documents may be uploaded directly through the Portal once your application has been submitted. Resident aliens must provide a copy of their alien registration card to the Office of Graduate Admissions or upload a copy (both sides) through the Graduate Admissions Portal.
Decision Letter
After your application is complete, the MBA Director will review and make a recommendation for admission if you are eligible. After that, Graduate Admissions will render a final decision. All admitted students must indicate their acceptance of their admission to the university. Students who are admitted but do not register for courses for the term for which they are admitted will be automatically withdrawn and must reapply.
Applicants who wish their applications to be considered for a future term, up to a year from the term of the original application, may request in writing to graddocs@southernct.edu that their application and materials be moved forward. This request must be made no later than the first day of classes for the original term.
