General Admissions
Prospective students will participate in an interview to ensure the prospective student is a good fit and is aware of the process. Prospective students applying for admission to Parker University must complete the following admission procedures:
Application: Submit to the Office of Admissions a properly completed application for the term. Applications may be found on the university website at parker.edu/apply.
Transcript Submission: All applicants to Parker University must provide official transcripts from each institution previously attended. It is the applicant’s responsibility to initiate transcript requests with each prior institution. Please refer to the specific degree level admission procedure requirements.
a. Printed Official Transcripts
- Official printed transcripts must be mailed directly to Parker University from the issuing institution.
- Printed Transcripts submitted by the applicant will be only considered official if they are sealed by the institution and remain unopened by the applicant.
b. Electronic Official Transcripts
- Official electronic transcripts must be sent via an approved transcript service (e.g., Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse).
- Emailed transcripts sent directly from the issuing institution to Parker University must be password protected to be considered official.
- Any emailed transcript provided by the applicant, regardless of its source, will be considered unofficial.
c. Use of Unofficial Transcripts: Applicants may supply unofficial copies of transcripts for initial advising and admission review. Continued enrollment and official transfer credit awards require receipt of official transcripts.
Official Transcript Deadlines: When all transcripts are received, the file will be reviewed for admissions requirements and applicable transfer credit according to the University Transfer of Credit Policies and Procedures. An advising report will be sent to the student listing applicable transfer credit and any known deficiencies. Transfer credit awarded based on unofficial transcripts will be voided if the corresponding official transcript is not received within the first term of enrollment. If official transcripts required for determining admission criteria are not received by the end of the first term of enrollment, the student will not be permitted to continue enrollment.
All admission documents, application fees and required tuition deposits must be received prior to registration. Incoming students will not receive financial aid disbursements until they are fully matriculated.
