Transcript Information

Students interested in the Manchester University MBA program must have earned a 3.0 undergraduate GPA on a 4.0 scale to meet admissions criteria. Prospective students must supply official transcripts from each school the student received a degree.

Are you a current or former Manchester University student?

Yes

Current and former Manchester University students will not be required to pay a processing fee for their Manchester University transcripts. However, they must consent to the Registrar accessing their students records and supplying transcripts for the review process. If you give consent, please check the box below.

Note: If a former Manchester University student received graduate-level credit or a second bachelor's degree at another institution, the individual must still supply transcripts from those institutions. Cost of outside transcripts must be covered by the student.

I give the Manchester University Registrar permission to access my transcripts for admission into the MBA program.

Students who did not graduate from Manchester University should have their official transcripts sent to the Registrar at Registrar@manchester.edu or the Office of Admissions at admitinfo@manchester.edu after submitting this form.
