Official transcripts must be sent by the issuing institution electronically, using a transcript encryption service via email to gradtranscript AT_TOWSON, OR by mail, sealed and stamped by the issuing institution to: Towson University, Graduate Admissions, 8000 York Road, Towson, MD 21252.

Transcripts submitted by the student are not considered official.

Pre-degree students must make sure their transcript includes all grades from the first semester of their senior year.
