Submit an official or certified copy of all secondary and post-secondary records and/or examination results. All credentials from non-U.S. institutions must be evaluated by a foreign credential evaluation agency. We recommend a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services. All academic records must be issued in the native language and be accompanied by a certified English translation. If your high school does not follow a U.S. grading scale (A, B, C, D, F or 0 - 100), you must submit a course-by-course evaluation report with a U.S. equivalent grade point average. College/university documents need to include a course-by-course evaluation.

Required Academic Records

• To be considered "certified," documents should be true copies that are signed and dated by an educational official familiar with academic records. Any translated record should be literal and not an interpretive translation. Documents signed by a notary or other public official with no educational affiliation will not be accepted.
• If the transcript/academic record does not indicate the degree earned and date the degree was awarded, separate proof of degree is required.
• All academic credentials become property of the university. They will not be returned to you or forwarded to a third party.

Florida A&M University is required by U.S. federal regulations to verify the financial resources of each applicant prior to issuing the Certificate of Eligibility (Form I-20 or DS-2019). Complete the International Student Financial Statement. You will provide information verifying your financial support (bank statements, award letters, scholarships, etc.). FAMU requires proof of financial support for the first year of study and demonstrated availability of funds for the length of your academic program.
