In some countries, diplomas document the award of the degree, and degrees are not shown on the mark-sheet transcripts. This is not straight-forward, since countries vary in educational processes. KSU subscribes to and follows the recommendations of the National Association of Foreign Student Advisors , and the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers . If the student only has one original copy of these documents, they can be presented to the Graduate School. We will make certified copies for our files, and the original will remain in the possession of the student.
Processing can proceed with photocopies.
If admitted, the student must submit official documents before registering. If so, the Graduate School will require the student to complete an English Proficiency Examination before enrolling for any classroom-based coursework. Programs often have additional material that they require for a completed application. The Graduate School receives the recommendations of the academic programs to admit the potential graduate student. If the program decides not to admit the student, they inform the student directly .
