No, DePaul does not require an external course-by-course evaluation for a graduate application to be considered. Graduate applicants must submit complete transcripts – including semester mark sheets and supplemental mark sheets as applicable – at the time of application. These must include all transcripts through the next-to-last semester of study (for programs in progress) or all transcripts with confirmation of graduation (for completed programs).
Once all transcripts and the $75 International Graduate Application Fee have been received, DePaul will complete an internal transcript evaluation. The estimated time to completion is 3-5 business days.
