HFC requires official documents that prove you meet admission requirements (High School Diploma, GED or equivalent). Transcripts sent directly to HFC from an accredited school or issuing institution in the US, or from an approved international evaluation agency (for education completed outside the U.S.) will be accepted as “official.” For information on transcripts for education completed outside the US, please see the section entitled “International Transcripts” below. Transcripts you provide to HFC, even if in a sealed envelope, are NOT considered official.

Official transcripts can be sent directly to HFC from an issuing institution or agency at the following locations:

  • Electronic delivery directly from a service such as Parchment, or approved international evaluation agency.

  • Mailed directly to:
    ATTN: Admissions
