You must have official transcripts sent to the Office of Admissions-Graduate Admissions which reflect at least the last sixty semester hours of course work and evidence of a degree awarded. A transcript is considered official when it bears the institution’s seal, is signed by the issuing authority, and is sent directly by the institution or delivered in a sealed envelope from the institution, or is sent electronically to UHD from the issuing institution. Official transcripts must be less than a year old.

Former UHD students may request UHD transcripts free of charge. Visit the Registrar’s Office website for more information.

If you attended a college or university outside the United States, your transcripts must be evaluated by an evaluation service recognized by UHD. Visit the list of suggested evaluation services page.
