2. Arrange to have one official copy of transcripts from each college and university that you have attended sent directly to the department.
   
   
3. If you will take prerequisite courses in the Fall semester prior to the year you would begin the DPT program, send us an additional transcript after course work is complete (it can be unofficial if you still have courses to take in the Spring before the DPT program start date).
   
   
4. If not available at the time of application, official transcripts must be sent to the department at the end of the following Spring semester indicating an undergraduate degree has been achieved.
