You will be prompted to submit a transcript. Request your NU London transcript directly from the NU London Registry (registry@nulondon.ac.uk) and specify the semester(s) you attended. The transcript includes a UK-to-U.S. grade conversion, which reduces, but does not eliminate, the likelihood that an additional foreign coursework evaluation will be required. If an individual program still requires a formal foreign transcript evaluation, have the evaluation sent directly to that school.
