College Transcripts:  

Since this position requires specific education,
you must submit a transcript attesting to your
possession of the required education.  If you do
not submit a transcript indicating your
possession of the required education, you will
not be considered for this position. Refer to
instructions in this section of the announcement
on how to transmit your transcript for
consideration.

You may submit an unofficial transcript or a
list of college courses completed indicating
course titles, credit hours, and grades
received. An official transcript is required if
you are selected for the position.

If you are applying for a position for which a
state license is issued, e.g. physician,
engineer, attorney, you may validate your
education by providing a copy of your current
state license.  If selected, however, you must
provide an original official transcript before
appointment.

Foreign Education:  Applicants who have
completed part or all of their education outside
of the U.S. must have their foreign education
evaluated by an accredited organization to
ensure that the foreign education is comparable
to education received in accredited educational
institutions in the U.S. For a listing of
services that can perform this evaluation, see
the National Association of Credential
Evaluation Services website.  This list,
which may not be all inclusive, is for
informational purposes only and does not imply
any endorsement of any specific agency.

If you are applying for a position for which a
state license is issued, e.g. physician,
engineer, attorney, possession of a valid and
current U.S. professional license by a graduate
of a foreign professional school or program is
sufficient proof that the foreign education has
been determined to be equivalent to the
requisite U.S. professional education in that
occupational field.
