For First Years

Official, final high school transcripts must be submitted electronically (preferred) or by mail to UCR by July 1. If you received a GED or passed the high school proficiency exam, you need to have an official copy submitted to UCR by July 1. Official test scores, including any Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and TOEFL, Duolingo, or IELTS scores, are due to UCR by July 15. 

It’s important to request the documents from all attended institutions be sent to UCR 3-4 weeks before the July deadlines. Documents must be sent electronically (preferred) or by mail. If UCR does not receive your documents by the July deadlines, your registration may be placed on hold, and the offer of admission may be withdrawn.

Step 2: Request to Have Documents Submitted to UCR

Contact all attended institutions and testing agencies 3-4 weeks before the July 1 (transcripts) and July 15 (test scores) deadlines. If your AP score(s) are older than three (3) years, your score(s) may be “archived” and may require additional processing time. Request the documents be sent to UCR electronically (preferred) or by mail by the July deadlines. Official transcripts for all coursework completed through summer must be submitted by Sept. 15. If you have already sent your official documents, do not resend them.

For California Community College (CCC) Students 

Full UC IGETC Certification (If Completed): If you have obtained full UC IGETC, your school may submit in two ways:

• Your school may issue a notation on your official transcript instead of issuing a separate certification form. UCR will accept the notation if it clearly indicates it is a “full UC IGETC certification.”
• If your school can only issue a separate IGETC certification form (no notation on transcript), we will accept this document. Make sure it indicates “full” and “UC” in the form.

Check with your CCC to see which method they use to send your IGETC certification. If you have obtained a partial IGETC, your school must issue the IGETC certification form that clearly indicates which areas were completed for the partial UC IGETC. A notation on the transcript will not suffice and credit will not be awarded. Only a full UC IGETC will waive the high school transcript requirement. If you have or will receive a partial or STEM IGETC, then we will continue to require your high school transcript. 

Test Scores (If Completed)

If you passed any Advanced Placement (AP) or higher-level International Baccalaureate (IB) exams, you must have the testing agency send the official results to UCR to receive credit.

• AP Credit: UCR awards credit for AP exams with scores of 3 or higher.
• IB Credit: UCR awards college credit for most IB higher-level exams with scores of 5 or higher. We don’t award college credit for standard-level exams.

Step 3: Confirm Receipt of Documents 

It takes about 10 business days for UCR to receive your documents. Log into My.UCR.EDU and select the Documents and Test Scores tabs to see if “Received” appears next to each document on the list.

If you have questions about your documents, submit them via admissions.ucr.edu/ask before July 1 for transcripts and before July 15 for test scores. 

For Winter Transfers

Official, final transcripts with coursework through the summer and test scores, including any Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and TOEFL or IELTS scores, must be submitted electronically (preferred) or by mail by Nov. 1.

It’s important to request the documents from all attended institutions be sent to UCR 3-4 weeks before the deadlines. Documents must be sent electronically (preferred) or by mail. If UCR does not receive your documents by the deadlines, your registration will be blocked, and the offer of admission will be withdrawn.
