Once you graduate, have your official transcripts sent to NCARB so we can verify your education in your NCARB Record. You can have your transcripts verified and add to your NCARB Record in one of two ways:
- Electronic copy (preferred): Use your school's electronic transcript request form to have your transcript sent to NCARB.
- Enter NCARB's transcripts@ncarb.org as the recipient email address and include your NCARB Record number in the comment/notes section (if available).
- If you have a degree from a university outside the United States or Canada and are pursuing an Education Evaluation Service for Architects (EESA) administered by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), do not have your transcript submitted to NCARB. Contact NAAB.
- Physical copy: Download and send the transcript request form and any fee to your school(s). The school must submit your transcript directly to NCARB.
NCARB will only accept an official transcript submitted by your school—whether electronically or physically. NCARB does not accept transcripts that you submit directly to My NCARB.
All documents submitted to NCARB must be in English. If your university is unable to provide your transcript in English, ask the university to forward the official transcript to a translation service. Have the translation service send the original transcript, the English translation, and a completed Translator Statement of Confirmation Form directly to NCARB. The Translator Statement of Confirmation Form should:
- Include confirmation that the translation was completed using the original, sealed document.
- Provide verifiable contact information, including the translator's name, email, and phone number.
- Confirm the name of the university or entity the transcript was received from.
- Confirm the method through which the transcript was delivered for translation (physical mail or email).
