Transcripts
Request transcripts from ASU
If you’re an ASU student or graduate requesting your transcripts so you can send them to another institution, please see registrar.asu.edu/transcripts.
Sending transcripts to ASU
Request that your official transcript(s) be sent to Admission Services.
Your official transcripts are certified copies from each high school, college, university or technical school you attended that show the courses you took, grades you earned, and certificates or degrees you were awarded. Arizona State University requires you to send transcripts from every institution you attended.
Upon graduation or the completion of the semester, request that your school or schools send a final transcript directly to ASU to determine final university admission status. Official transcripts must be sent directly to Admission Services at ASU from the issuing institution’s records office either by mail or electronically through a secured transcript service approved by ASU.
- Transcripts may not be faxed.
- Transcripts sent via email may be accepted if sent directly from an authorized school official at the issuing institution to ASU at transcripts@asu.edu. If ASU is unable to verify the sender is from the issuing institution, the emailed transcript will not be accepted as official.
- Official transcripts delivered by hand will be accepted only if they are sealed in the original envelope provided by the community college or university and bear the university seal and the signature of the registrar of the issuing institution.
- When possible, please include the student’s full name and student number or application number in transcript submissions.
- Any transcripts submitted by students directly via email are considered unofficial and will not satisfy our official transcript priority task requirement.
Emails sent to transcripts@asu.edu or gradtranscripts@asu.edu must not exceed 25MB total and individual attachments must not exceed 5 MB. Any attachments must be in one of these approved file types.
Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx)
Microsoft Excel (.xls or .xlsx)

Adobe PDF (.pdf)
Text (.txt)
If the file size is exceeded and/or the document type is not supported, the email will be rejected.
Documents not accepted through the transcripts inboxes
NOTE: The transcript inboxes are only for transcripts/mark sheets sent to ASU directly from the sending institution or transcript vendor, English translations of transcripts, degree/graduation certificates, and transcript supporting documentation such as school profiles and degree program curriculum sheets. Please do NOT send the following documents to our transcript email addresses (transcripts@asu.edu or gradtranscripts@asu.edu) as they will not be added to the student record.

For transcripts sent through a secured transcript service, please select Arizona State University from the vendor’s dropdown list to ensure the transcript is routed to the correct place. If an email address is requested you can route to transcripts@asu.edu, or for graduate applicants to gradtranscripts@asu.edu. Please note that transcripts sent by students to transcripts@asu.edu or gradtranscripts@asu.edu will not be accepted as official. These addresses are only for transcripts received from secured and approved transcript services.
International Transcript/Degree Certificate
NOTE: The transcript inboxes are only for transcripts/mark sheets sent to ASU directly from the sending institution or transcript vendor, English translations of transcripts, degree/graduation certificates, and transcript supporting documentation such as school profiles and degree program curriculum sheets. Please do NOT send the following documents to our transcript email addresses (transcripts@asu.edu or gradtranscripts@asu.edu) as they will not be added to the student record.
Important: If you email a copy of your degree certificate, please email only the degree certificate. Do not include copies of transcripts. Transcripts will not be accepted as official if sent by you and will delay processing of your degree certificate.
The mailto:transcripts@asu.edu and gradtranscripts@asu.edu email addresses are for receipt of transcripts from vendors and institutions and copies of degree certificates from students. This inbox does not respond to general questions. Questions should be routed to your admission representative.
High school transcripts from the United States
Official transcripts must be sent directly to Admission Services at ASU from the issuing institution’s records office either by mail or electronically. Domestic high school transcripts delivered by hand will be accepted only if they are sealed in the original envelope provided by the high school. High school transcripts must show courses, grades, GPA and date of graduation. Sealed official high school transcripts can be sent in the mail or dropped off at the Admission Services customer service counter on the first floor in the Student Services Building, Suite 150, Window #5, on the Tempe campus.
Community college or university transcripts from the United States
An official college transcript must be in a sealed envelope sent directly from the issuing institution’s records office either by mail or electronically. Transcripts delivered by hand will be accepted only if they are sealed in the original envelope provided by the community college or university.
International transcripts and exam results
Graduate applicants: Official, original or authenticated transcripts from every college or university from which you earned a comparable credential to a U.S. bachelor’s degree or higher must be sent to ASU in the original language and accompanied by an English translation (if the original document was not issued in English).
Undergraduate applicants: Official, original or authenticated transcripts and exam results from every secondary or higher-secondary school (grades 9-12) and transcripts from any college or university attended must be sent to ASU in the original language and accompanied by an English translation (if the original document was not issued in English).
Request transcripts from each international educational institution you attended and exam boards from which you have official results. Official transcripts must be mailed or sent directly from the issuing institution’s records office electronically, and must include a certified English translation of all documents not issued in English. ASU will accept transcripts sent as email attachments if the email can be verified as coming from an authorized school official at the sending institution.
If your school(s) cannot send them directly to ASU, you may send them yourself, making sure they meet one of the following requirements:
- Original academic credentials issued by the registrar of the institution attended, bearing the original raised or colored seal of the institution and the signature of the institution’s registrar, academic official or recognized international organization.
- Photocopies of academic credentials that have been verified as true copies of the original by a responsible official of the institution attended or by an education representative of the country’s government or embassy. Each page must bear the verifying official’s signature and stamp.
- Photocopies of academic credentials that have been certified by a recognized international educational organization, such as EducationUSA, the U.S. Educational Foundation, AMIDEAST or the Institute for International Education.
- Photocopies of an international high school academic credential that has been verified as official by a recognized U.S. high school.
ASU recommends that you have your international transcripts sent to ASU directly from the issuing institution, utilize a secured transcript service (where available) or obtain an attested copy of the transcript (where possible). Sending your only original copy to ASU should be the last option.
- We recommend students sending documents from abroad use FedEx or DHL in order to obtain a tracking number. If possible, include your ASU student ID number and name written on each page of the transcript(s) you send.
- Any document ASU receives becomes property of ASU and will not be returned to you, unless it is a situation where another copy cannot be obtained.
- Photocopies certified by a notary public are not official and will not be accepted. Scanned copies are also not accepted in lieu of original official academic documents.

International documentation and translation
Transcripts and degree certificates not issued in English require submission of an English translation in addition to the original language documents. Translations must be literal, complete versions of the originals and must be translated by one of the following:
The translation does not take the place of submitting official academic records in the original language. The translation is in addition to the official academic record. Translations may not be completed by the student. Translations certified by a notary public are not acceptable.
You may not complete your own translation. Please have the translation service mail the official translation to ASU. Translations may also be emailed to transcripts@asu.edu by the translation service.
Note: Some third party evaluation agencies are also members of American Translators Association and provide both translation and credential evaluation services. If using a third party evaluation agency for translation services, be sure you are requesting a literal translation. A literal translation is an exact translation of the document (including notation of seals, signatures, etc). Credential Evaluation reports will have grade and credit conversions and interpretation of the document and are not literal translations.

We need your high school transcript in order to verify your credits fulfill ASU's competency requirements for admission.
In general, transfer credit is awarded for courses meeting all of the following requirements: Grade earned is a “C” or better (on a scale of 4.00). Completed at a regionally accredited postsecondary institution in the United States. Course is considered to be college-level (not remedial) and is not highly technical/vocational. A maximum of 64 community college credits may be transferred to ASU.
Do you have international credits? https://students.asu.edu/international/future/undergrad
There isn’t an expiration date for transfer credits that meet the eligibility requirements, although some courses (e.g., Computers and Economics) may need to be retaken depending on their relevancy to today’s courses.
Certain types of credit cannot be transferred to ASU, including credit awarded by postsecondary institutions for life experience, workshops and seminars. Also, military SMART transcripts and experiences are not transferable.
Your enrollment counselor will tell you exactly how your transfer credits fit into your degree program.
Once your application file is complete, we will process it with the highest priority, and you should expect an admission decision within a few weeks. To see if you have any missing items and to view your admission status, sign in to My ASU using your ASURITE UserID, which is sent to you after you apply for admission.
An admission application file is complete once ASU receives all of your required transcripts. If you haven’t completed an Associate of Arts degree, have your official high school transcript sent as well. Please have your transcripts sent to:
