We want to reward the hard work you’ve done in high school or college. Which is why, after you have been admitted, your Pace University school, college, or department will determine which of your previous courses will carry over. Pace University accepts AP or IB credits earned in high school, as well as college-credit coursework earned before acceptance and enrollment at Pace University. Incoming first year students should have their qualifying AP, IB, or college-credit coursework submitted to Pace at least two weeks before attending orientation. Failure to do so may impact course registration for the upcoming semester.
Pace University participates with several electronic transcripts networks: Common App, Credentials Solutions, National Student Clearinghouse, Naviance, Parchment Exchange, Scoir, Scribbles (ScribOrder), or slate.org. If a send-to-email address is required, please use undergradadmission@pace.edu. If electronic submission is not available, please arrange submission by mail to:
Pace University, Application Processing Center
861 Bedford Road
Pleasantville, NY 10570.
