Submit Transcripts

In order to be considered official, transcripts must arrive in our office sealed in the original envelope. It is the student's responsibility to request transcripts from their prior college(s).

• Internationally-educated students must have their foreign credentials translated and evaluated by an accredited credential evaluation service. Transfer applicants must have a "Course by Course Report" completed by the service. Many UNC Charlotte applicants choose World Education Services (WES) as their evaluation service.
