Transcripts
Transcripts
We require a scanned copy of your transcripts from every college or university you have attended. Scanned copies must be clearly legible and sized to print on standard 8½-by-11-inch paper. Transcripts that do not show degrees awarded must also be accompanied by a scanned copy of the diploma or degree certificate. If your academic transcripts were issued in a language other than English, both the original documents and certified English translations are required.
Transcripts and proof of degree documents for postsecondary degrees earned from institutions outside of
the United States will be released to a third-party international credential evaluator to assess U.S. education
system equivalencies. Beginning July 2023, a non-refundable fee for this service will be required before the
application is processed.
Upon admission to the University of Denver, official transcripts will be required from each institution attended.
