Transcripts:
Transcripts from all completed coursework are submitted to CASPA for verification. Transcripts from courses in process or planned at the time of application must be received by the program as soon as possible. If you are completing application requirements during the summer, we recommend completing your CASPA application and sending summer transcripts directly to the program to avoid delay in your application submission.
Professional school transcripts not verified by CASPA must be received by the CHA/PA Program.
Once your complete application packet is received in our office, you will be notified by via e-mail. Please set SPAM filters to accept e-mail from chapa-info@ucdenver.edu and Melinda.Sogo@ucdenver.edu. Please allow up to 4-6 weeks after submission to receive notification that we have received the CASPA application.
Foreign Transcripts:
If the applicant chose to study abroad for a semester or longer and the study program was not affiliated with a US school or program of study that provides credits and grades according to the US system, they must submit official foreign transcript reports from World Educational Services (www.WES.org). The service may take several weeks to process your foreign transcript. The CHA/PA Program must receive the WES evaluation by the application deadline. If an applicant studied abroad by a sponsoring US sending school and the credits and grades for that study appear on the US sending school transcript, and are included in the number of total credits and the cum GPA, they do not have to obtain a WES evaluation.
