International Academic Records


Documents to submit for schools outside of the United States

In the United States, an academic record is called a "transcript." In your country it may be called something else, such as statement of marks, statement of results, relève du notes, record of learning, or record of achievement. Your country may also have additional certificates, diplomas, or other documents that demonstrate equivalency to a U.S. high school diploma. 

Required Documents to Finalize Admissions:

Your admission to UC Irvine is provisional pending the receipt and review of your secondary school transcripts, exam results, and/or graduation certificate or diploma. 

If your secondary school does not issue transcripts that contain a graduation date, please submit a copy of your graduation certificate or diploma certified by your school with the transcript. 

To finalize admission and enroll at UCI, all required official documents must be sent to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions by our document deadlines. Please review the Required Documents by Curriculum and Required Documents by Country sections below for additional clarification on what documents you are required to submit.

Sending Transcripts:

Official transcripts should be sent electronically to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions through one of our online vendor options. If your institution is unable to send electronic transcripts, they must issue a physical copy of your official transcript to our office. Processing physical transcripts can take 2-4 weeks once received. 

Records that are unsealed, opened, emailed, or sent by students are generally not considered official. Review our Submitting Official Documents page for additional details on how to submit your official documents.

Translations of Academic Records:

In addition to the school-issued records, English translations are required for all academic documents not originally issued in English. We accept English-language translations provided by international schools or those performed by certified translators with knowledge of educational records and terminology.
