(6) Contact your school to send your transcript(s) and diploma to the University of Utah’s Office of International Admissions or submit your documents in-person to Utah Global during orientation.

*Keep in Mind – If you submit your transcripts and/or graduation certificate in-person it must be in an untampered envelope that has been sealed with adhesive by the school. If at any time the original envelope has been opened, whether by you or by anyone else, they will be considered unofficial.

• If you submitted your application with an incomplete transcript while you finished 12th grade or if you had in-progress classes at a post-secondary institution, you need to submit final official transcripts with grades posted.
• If you have any university-level education/transfer work, you will also need to submit an official transcript from this university with official English translation (if it was not originally written in English).

Information about transcripts and graduation certificates can be found below.

1. Sealed with adhesive inside the school’s letterhead envelope.
2. Sent by the school.
3. Be in English when possible.
4. Include all Final Grades including the date of graduation.
