Transcript guidelines

All postbac applicants, U.S. and international, are required to submit official college/university transcripts from each baccalaureate (four-year) college or university attended.

Additional guidelines:

  • A transcript is official when it is in a sealed school envelope and it bears the authorizing school signature and the official seal of the issuing institution.
  • Records from schools outside the U.S. must be in English or in the native language, accompanied by official English translations.
  • College/university transcripts may be sent electronically. Sending college/university transcripts electronically is preferred. See below for details.
  • Failure to disclose and submit transcripts from all baccalaureate (four-year) colleges or universities attended, even if no credit was earned, may result in denial of admission or dismissal from the UW.
  • It is recommended but not required that you also submit transcripts from any community (two-year) colleges you have attended.

College/university transcripts

Request one official transcript from each baccalaureate (four-year) college or university you have attended. Request transcripts showing coursework through the term most recently completed before the application deadline (current UW students send after course is complete). It is your responsibility to contact each institution to request that transcripts be sent to the Office of Admissions by the appropriate deadline.

  • Official transcripts can also be sent through Parchment (formerly Naviance) or Transcript Network/Credential Solutions (formerly eScripSafe). When sending an electronic transcript via Parchment, select the University of Washington – Seattle, undergraduate admissions. Do not send electronic transcripts to any email address.
  • All other transcripts should be mailed to the Office of Admissions. Official transcript(s) must be in a sealed school envelope with a fresh school stamp or seal.
  • If you have UW coursework, including from UW Bothell or UW Tacoma, you do not need to submit official UW transcripts. However, you are required to submit official transcripts from all other baccalaureate (four-year) colleges and universities you have attended. We will not request the transfer documents originally sent to other UW offices.
  • If your official transcript cannot be sent electronically, or by mail, a school official can email transcripts to ugatranscripts@uw.edu The email address must be associated with the sending institution. Transcripts sent from Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, or other generic email provider will not be accepted.
  • Washington state community college transcripts should be sent electronically.
