Transcripts
Transcripts are only required if you attended a different institution since the last time you were enrolled at the University of Arizona.
If your college/university is located outside of the United States, then unofficial transcripts from each institution you have attended are sufficient for initial admission evaluation. They can be uploaded via the Future Wildcat Portal or emailed to international@arizona.edu.
Please note: Official transcripts from each international institution you have attended are required to receive transfer credit. Official transcripts are due at the time of enrollment at UArizona.
If your college/university is located within the United States, you must submit official transcripts from each institution you have attended. Transcripts can be sent electronically to REG-transcripts@arizona.edu or through Parchment to The University of Arizona - Office of the Registrar - College Transcripts.
Transcripts are considered as “Official” if they are sent directly to UArizona from the awarding institution. All records must be original or certified copies with the seal of the issuing institution or signed by an appropriate authority. If a transcript is not in English, a certified English translation must accompany the transcript.
