Submitting transcripts and other documents for newly admitted students

UC Berkeley needs an official transcript that shows your entire high school program from grades 9-12, including your graduation date. If you attended more than one high school, and your transcript from your graduating high school does not show courses/grades along with institution name from your previous high school(s), you will be required to have transcripts from your previous high school(s) sent directly to us as well. If you took college or university courses, submit transcripts from these institutions even if the college/university courses and grades do appear on your high school transcript.

Please note: All international students will need to submit individual transcripts for each institution attended.

Sending transcripts electronically:

This is the preferred method of receiving transcripts. We recommend this option if available at your school. Parchment is the preferred service to send official documents, though we will accept documents from other secure services. UC Berkeley does not accept transcripts sent via email attachment; however, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions can make case-by-case exceptions (submit an Update Form and select the option "I am having difficulty submitting a final transcript/document" for next steps). If your school is unable to send electronic transcripts via our approved vendors, we recommend requesting your school to send a paper transcript via mail.

Approved vendors include:

• Parchment
• XAP
• SCOIR
• SPEEDE
• National Student Clearinghouse
• My eQuals
• Greenlight
• Scribbles
• Overgrad
• Slate

Request that your school send official documents to UC Berkeley through a secure third-party vendor. The school should ask the vendor to send transcripts to our Business Operations office: undergradtranscripts@berkeley.edu.

Sending transcripts by mail:

If your school or institution provides paper transcripts only, they can be mailed to:

UC Berkeley Undergraduate Admissions Transcripts
16 Sproul Hall, MC 0608
Berkeley, CA 94720-0608

Paper transcripts will only be considered officially if they are sent by mail in a sealed school envelope with a stamp or signature on the flap of the envelope.

UC Berkeley needs an official transcript from every college/university at which you took courses. The preferred method of receiving transcripts is electronically through a third party vendor, though we will accept paper transcripts via mail.

Sending transcripts electronically:

Transfer students from California Community Colleges

See if your college accepts electronic transcript requests via eTranscript California. Participating California community colleges will know how and where to send these requests, so your college will not need an email address. If your college does not use eTranscript, it may use another secure third-party vendor.

Transfer students from Non-California Community Colleges

Parchment is the preferred service to send official documents, though we will accept documents from other secure services. UC Berkeley does not accept transcripts sent via email attachment; however, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions can make case-by-case exceptions (submit an Update Form and select the option "I am having difficulty submitting a final transcript/document" for next steps). If your school is unable to send electronic transcripts via our approved vendors, we recommend requesting your school to send a paper transcript via mail.

California community colleges should also send a fully certified UC IGETC for all eligible students. The IGETC can be posted on the student’s transcript, or we will accept the IGETC certification form.
