BBS ACCEPTING ELECTRONIC TRANSCRIPTS AND EDUCATION VERFICATION FORMS
Many schools/universities now have the capability to electronically submit your transcripts and education
verification forms (Form A & B) directly to the Board. When preparing to submit your application to the
Board, please consult with your school/university to determine whether the school is able to submit
documents electronically to the Board, or if you will need to submit a sealed copy of your transcript and/or
hard copies of your education verification forms. Please be advised you will be required to include all
documents, that are not submitted electronically by your school/university, with your application packet.
Some schools/universities are utilizing third-party electronic transcripts vendor such as Parchment,
National Student Clearinghouse, etc. If this is the case for your school/university, please provided one of
the following email addresses when ordering:

Once your electronic documents are received by the Board they will be attached to your electronic file.
