Admission
When accepted, all students are admitted conditionally pending completion of outstanding admission requirements. These requirements are referred to as our “Conditions of Admission and Enrollment.”
Upon acceptance, please refer to the list below and ensure that you have met each condition. Failure to meet these requirements before matriculating to the MGH Institute of Health Professions can jeopardize your enrollment and registration status.
I. Official Transcripts
Official transcripts are required to verify the following:
- Prerequisite Coursework Completion: Official transcript(s) showing satisfactory completion of all prerequisite courses (if applicable).
- Final Transcript with Degree Posted: Official transcript showing satisfactory completion of an undergraduate degree.
Exemptions: Those applying through one of the Centralized Application Services (i.e. NursingCAS, PTCAS, CSDCAS, OTCAS, CASPA) are required to submit all transcripts to the CAS directly throughout the application process. In certain instances an official/final transcript will also be required to be sent to the MGH Institute for admitted students, only to verify the following:
- Official/Final Transcript with Degree Posted (If the degree conferral date was not received and verified by the CAS).
- Official Transcript showing satisfactory completion of all prerequisite courses. (If the pre-requisite courses were in-progress throughout the application process.)
- Please note: In the case where you have requested official transcripts to be sent to our institution when courses were in-progress and not yet complete, an updated/final official transcript will be required once all coursework is completed.
As part of the application process, official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended, should be sealed and sent directly from the institution to the MGH Institute of Health Professions, or a CAS system when applicable. Undergraduate and graduate coursework are included in this requirement. For official transcripts, the Office of Admissions strongly encourages the use of online electronic transcript ordering which can be sent directly via email to admissions. If this is not an option and your institution does not participate in electronic transcript delivery, please request official transcripts to be sent to the mailing address listed below:
