International Applicants
The universities of some countries, e.g., India and China (i.e., People's Republic of China), do NOT state on the transcript whether a degree has been conferred to the student and on which date the degree was conferred. Graduate Studies and Research of SJSU requires that all applicants from these countries submit a certified copy of their degree certificate (certified by the degree-conferring university) Provisional or Final to the Evaluation Service (i.e. Service). Please note that although it may be stated on the transcript issued by universities of these countries that all degree requirements have been fulfilled, you still must submit a certified copy of the degree certificate. If you do not have an official degree certificate yet either because you have not graduated yet or you have not received it, you should obtain a Provisional Degree Certificate.
