Do I need to submit high school transcripts?

To apply as an undergraduate, you must show proof of high school graduation or a GED unless you have earned 30+ college credits or a U.S. degree.

If you don't want to submit your HS transcripts:

  • You may be eligible to complete the High School Attestation Form (not available to international students).
  • Find it in your To-Do list if you're eligible.
  • Choose only one option: I graduated from high school or I earned a High School Equivalency.
  • You can submit the form twice. After that, you'll need to provide your official transcript.
  • Financial aid requires official high school transcripts.

If you're submitting transcripts:

  • High School transcripts: Request these from your high school or district board of education.
  • College transcripts: Send official transcripts from every college you've attended.

Note: High school transcripts aren't needed if you've completed a bachelor's or graduate program in the U.S.
