University of Pittsburgh applicants are required to submit an official credential evaluation of all international documents (transcripts, marksheets, certificates, examination results, etc.) from Josef Silny and Associates. The Office of Admissions and Financial Aid prefers that you use the evaluation services of Josef Silny and Associates (JS&A). If you use JS&A, you can send your records directly to JS&A. Once JS&A has evaluated them, it will send your scanned official records, translations of your records, and evaluation directly to the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid, electronically. Please submit records as specified on the JS&A printable credential evaluation application that is specifically designed for University of Pittsburgh applicants.
Freshman applicants. Important notes: In the United States, a secondary school transcript covers 4 years, from grades 9-12. If secondary school in your country covers only 3 years, please be sure to also submit the 3rd year of your middle school record. Rising seniors (presently enrolled in grade 12) should send a transcript for the three years you have completed, including the 3rd year of middle school if applicable.
Request these credential evaluations from JS&A.
- A high school course-by- course evaluation and
- A grade point average equivalent
Transfer applicants. Transfer applicants who will have fewer than two years of full-time university work completed by the term they plan to enroll should send a secondary transcript to JS&A (if secondary school in your country is 3 years in length, that is acceptable) for evaluation, as well as their transcripts of all post-secondary work.

Transfer applicants who will have completed two years of full-time university work by the term they plan to enroll at Pitt do not need to send their secondary record to JS&A for evaluation. Do however, send your secondary transcript in the original language and a certified, literal translation of it to Pitt; and send your post-secondary records to JS&A for evaluation.
