Transcript Info
This page is for prospective and current students who need to submit transcripts to UT Austin. Find your student type, explore what’s required and determine your submittal options. UT Austin does not accept transcripts via email.
Freshman – Domestic
This section applies to U.S. citizens, permanent residents and international students graduating from a Texas high school who have not enrolled at another college or university. Learn more.
What’s Required
Transcripts must include your class rank in addition to information about high school coursework. Submit your transcripts with your class rank for the latest semester you completed prior to the application deadline.
- Rank should be indicated as your numerical position out of the total number of students in the class. For example, if you’re fifth in your class of 130, your transcript should report your rank as 5/130.
- If you attend a Texas public school, your transcript should indicate the high school diploma program you will be graduating under, as defined in the state’s Uniform Admission Policy.
Transcripts From Non-Ranking High Schools
If your high school does not rank students, include a statement from your school describing its policy, a copy of your school’s profile and a GPA or grade distribution report.
Transcripts From Foreign High Schools
If you attended a foreign high school, submit an official record or transcript (mark sheet) that shows all your secondary school work and grades (or marks) starting with ninth grade and continuing through at least the end of 11th grade. You should also include copies of your official final examinations taken at the end of the secondary school program, including external exams such as the General Certificate of Education (GCE) “O” and “A” level examinations, school leaving certificates and matriculation exams.
Homeschooled & GED Students
In accordance with Texas Senate Bill 1543, if you received a non- traditional secondary education (for example, if you were homeschooled or earned a GED in lieu of a high school diploma), you will be assigned a percentile rank comparable to the average class rank of students from traditional schools who have equivalent SAT or ACT test scores.
Homeschooled Applicants
If you were homeschooled, submit a transcript that:
- Lists all courses undertaken at each grade level, along with a brief description of the course content and information about the format of the course (in a classroom, online, etc.).
- Is signed by a school official, defined as the adult person who was primarily responsible for your education.
GED Applicants
If you earned a GED, submit your high school transcripts showing any coursework completed along with a copy of the GED certificate.

Transfer – Domestic
This section applies to U.S. citizens or permanent residents who have already started studying at another college or university. Learn more.
What’s Required
You must submit all transcripts documenting any enrollment at a college, university or post-secondary school. Your transcripts must show grades/credit for all completed coursework. Transcripts displaying partial grades within a semester (i.e., some courses show complete while others show in progress) will be considered incomplete.
This includes institutions at which you:
- Earned dual credit coursework while in high school.
- Earned credit that was then transferred to another institution.
- Were awarded credit through study abroad, especially if the study abroad program was handled through a third-party institution (not your home college/university).
- Enrolled in coursework but did not earn credit.
- Fall applicants only: If you are enrolled in courses at the time of the deadline, submit an updated transcript from your current college or university as soon as your grades are posted for this additional coursework, no later than June 1.
To be considered for transfer, credit you earned by examination must be listed on an official college transcript you submit to UT with departmental abbreviations and course numbers used by that institution. Letter grades assigned to such coursework by the sending institution will be included when your transfer GPA is calculated. Test scores, attachments to the official college transcript or letters from the institution’s registrar’s office are not accepted as a substitute for formal transcript credit.
High School Transcripts (If Applicable)
Texas High School Graduates

Rank should be indicated as your numerical position out of the total number of students in the class. For example, if you were fifth in your class of 130, your transcript should report your rank as 5/130.
