Transcripts

Undergraduate Students

High School Transcripts

Unofficial transcripts are sufficient for initial evaluation. At any time, you may be contacted to submit official/verified transcripts. Check the Country Requirement page for whether you will be required to submit an official version of your secondary transcripts. To be considered for admission, simply upload your transcripts through the application. If you were not able to upload the transcripts in your application, you can log back in Future Wildcat to upload them. Or, you can email legible PDF copies of transcripts to international@arizona.edu.

Official transcripts showing grades for all years of secondary/high school and official exam results or certificates from your country will be required before you enroll at the University of Arizona.

International College/University Transcripts

If you have attended any college or university outside of the United States during or post-high school, unofficial transcripts from each institution you have attended are sufficient for initial evaluation. You can also upload them via Future Wildcat or email them to REG-transcripts@arizona.edu. For more information on sending official transcripts: Click Here.

Official college/university transcripts from each international institution you have attended will be required at the time of enrollment.

U.S. College/University Transcripts

If you have attended any college or university IN the United States during or post-high school, you must submit official transcripts from each institution you have attended. Ideally, as you request official transcripts, plan to send them electronically directly to REG-transcripts@arizona.edu. You can also mail them directly to the Office of International Admissions.

What Do We Consider Official Records?

All academic records sent to the University of Arizona office directly from the institution attended are considered to be official records. All records must be original or certified copies with the seal of the issuing institution or signed by an appropriate authority.

All international documents must be translated into English.

Certified Translations

Certified translations include:

• Translations issued or verified by the issuing institution, or translated by a member of ATA (American Translators Association).
• Translations issued by the Ministry of Education (translations done by other government ministries are not valid).
• For Iran only: Translations issued by the Ministry of Justice.
• Translations completed by National Center for Interpretation Services or by a NACES member (Evaluations must be accompanied by the original transcript. Evaluations submitted without a transcript will be considered unofficial).

Graduate Students

Applicants must upload unofficial pdf versions of all transcripts when submitting their application in our GradApp system. Individual departmental application instructions will indicate if official transcripts are required for initial departmental review purposes, please review the Graduate Programs Catalog for more information.

Once formally admitted to the University of Arizona, official versions of transcripts from all previous colleges and universities attended will be required. Be advised that all materials submitted in support of an application become the property of the University of Arizona and will not be returned to the applicant or forwarded to other schools or agencies.
