Transcript:
For applicants with degrees from Chinese universities, please follow the above process. In particular, during the application process, MSU does NOT require CDGDC verification of transcripts.
If you are admitted to the computer science MS or PhD program, MSU will eventually require CDGDC verification of your final bachelor degree transcript and bachelor degree. Note that CDGDC verification of MS degrees or transcripts is never required.
CSE will REIMBURSE you for the cost of CDGDC verification once you arrive and are officially an MSU student. We will work with you to make this verification process as easy as possible.
