Postgraduate studies and previous studies

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the process of applying for postgraduate studies in the US after completing undergraduate studies in Australia. A student studying Electrical Engineering in Australia successfully received credit for four subjects from a previous university, which are marked as 'exempted' on their academic transcript without grades. The consensus is that when applying for postgraduate programs in the US, it is necessary to submit transcripts from all institutions attended, including the previous university, regardless of whether grades are listed.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of academic transcript requirements for postgraduate applications
  • Familiarity with credit transfer policies in higher education
  • Knowledge of the postgraduate application process in the US
  • Awareness of grading systems and their implications on transcripts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specific transcript requirements for postgraduate programs in the US
  • Investigate credit transfer policies at various US universities
  • Learn about the implications of 'exempted' courses on academic records
  • Explore strategies for presenting academic history in postgraduate applications
USEFUL FOR

Prospective postgraduate students, academic advisors, and anyone navigating the complexities of international education and transcript submissions.

Just a quick question. I'm in Australia and am currently studying Electrical Engineering. Prior to the university I am at now, I did a year at another university, and once I was accepted into the one that I am at now, I applied to receive credit/advanced standing for 4 subjects that I did at the first university. These were approved and appear on my academic transcript as being 'exempted', however the grades are not listed.

I would like to pursue postgraduate studies in the US, hopefully, so when and if the time comes, when I submit my application, will I also have to submit the academic transcript that shows my grades for the 4 subjects I did at the first university?

Probably. The usual requirement is for transcripts from everywhere you have attended.
 
^^Thanks.
