Step 3: Transcripts
All students must have original, sealed transcripts sent to the University of Florida to verify all coursework taken after high school.
Domestic (U.S.) Applicants Only
If both your Bachelor’s and graduate degree(s) were earned in the United States, please see the transcript requirement below.
If you have not yet completed your bachelor’s degree, only send a transcript once it reflects that your degree has been conferred. This transcript must be received by UF by the final application deadline for the semester to which you are applying. Transcripts that show a conferred degree must be received before any decision can be made on an application.
Domestic transcripts can be sent via post or electronically. Request official, original transcripts from every school that you reported on the UF Graduate Application in Step 2.
Send transcripts via post to the following address:
University of Florida
Office of Admissions
201 Criser Hall – PO Box 114000
Gainesville, FL 32611-4000
You can send electronic transcripts directly FROM the institution TO the UF Office of Admissions at te@admissions.ufl.edu.
The institution must use one of the following verified companies to submit transcripts or the transcripts cannot be considered valid and official:
Parchment, Faster, National Student Clearinghouse, Transcripts Plus, Credential Solutions, or E-script/Scrip-Safe.
If one of these companies cannot be used, transcripts must be sent via post.
International Applicants Only
If either your bachelor’s or graduate degree(s) were earned outside of the United States, please see the transcript and diploma requirement below.
Graduate applicants must submit an official copy in the native language of each transcript/mark sheet and diploma/degree certificate from each university or college attended. If the native language for the documents is not English, certified, literal (exact) English translations are required. The English translation may come from your university or may be completed by a certified translator. You must also include this checklist, filled out, in the package that you send containing your documents.
