Transcripts and other academic documents

Learn how to submit official documents.

Official transcripts are required from every college or university you have attended and must arrive by the application deadline. The transcripts must show you have earned a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution (or equivalent). If you are applying prior to graduating with your bachelor’s, submit your current transcript to allow for admission consideration. If admitted, you’ll be required to submit a final transcript with your degree posted.

Contact the colleges and universities you have attended about their processes for providing official transcripts. Most institutions provide transcripts electronically directly to us, all you have to do is request it.

If you previously attended the University of North Texas, you are not required to provide your UNT transcript to the UNT Office of Admissions. We will be able to obtain this from the registrar's office for you.
