Requesting transcripts

You will provide information about your high school coursework as part of the freshman application; a high school transcript is not required to apply.

However, you must submit official transcripts from any college or university attended, even if no credit was earned; this includes coursework completed during summer school or via distance or online learning, Running Start programs or any other dual enrollment programs in which you have been awarded college credit by a regionally-accredited college or university.

Important: The UW Tacoma now requires, when possible, that official academic transcripts from Washington State Community and Technical Colleges be sent in electronic form. The UW Tacoma's electronic transcript code is 412.

A transcript is considered "official" if it bears the official seal and authorizing signature of the issuing institution and is:

  1. sent directly by the school to UW Tacoma,
    or
  2. sealed by the school and mailed or delivered to UW Tacoma by you.

If you open the envelope, the transcript is no longer official.

If you are admitted and decide to enroll, you will be required to submit a official high school transcript at the end of your senior year. Verification that all admission requirements have been satisfied will be confirmed at that time, and the offer of admission will be withdrawn if important discrepancies are discovered.

Send all transcripts to:
