CUBA

Country-specific requirements below supplement FACS’s general document policies and definitions listed at the bottom of this page. Please submit all documents that apply to your educational history. All documents must be issued by the appropriate examining authority, awarding body, or degree-granting institution.

IMPORTANT:  If the issuing institution is able to send official academic documents directly to a third party, documents must be sent to us directly by the institution. We are unable to accept applicant-submitted documents when a direct institutional delivery option exists.

Electronic Document Submission Policy

Electronic academic documents are accepted only when sent directly by the issuing institution or its officially authorized agent. Documents must be transmitted from an official, verifiable institutional email address or secure system that is authorized to issue student records (for example, a registrar, examinations office, or records office).

Documents sent by applicants, third parties, or from personal or unverified email accounts are not accepted. We reserve the right to verify the authenticity of all electronic submissions and to request additional documentation or alternate delivery methods when needed.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Photocopies of all documents must be legalized by either:
