Transcript Requirements (intl)

You are required to submit official transcripts from all previous colleges and universities attended. Please read the following sections to insure your understanding of transcript requirements.

TRANSCRIPTS FROM US INSTITUTIONS

• An official transcript is one that has been officially issued by an institution and received at the University of Arizona in an envelope sealed by the issuing institution. The transcript will contain the official school seal or stamp and the signature of the Registrar.
• You are required to submit official transcripts from each college or university you have previously attended or are currently attending. Transfer credits indicated on another school’s transcript are not accepted in lieu of submitting the original institution record for that coursework.
• If the issuing institution will not release your official transcript to you, request that it be sent directly to each proposed department here at the University of Arizona to which you are applying.

TRANSCRIPTS FROM INSTITUTIONS OUTSIDE THE US
Your international record will be considered complete and official if:

• Each document is an original or a copy that is issued and certified by the university or college. It must contain the original stamp or seal of the institution and the original signature of the appropriate school authority.
• It is a comprehensive record of all study completed, detailing courses studied and the grades (marks) received, in the form of a transcript or yearly grade (mark) sheets.
• It includes all degree/diploma certificates conferred. If the degree is not posted on the transcripts, a separate degree certificate must indicate the type of degree awarded and the date of award. Verification of graduation is required.
