For your secondary school attendance (grade 9 through grades 11, 12 or 13): submit all official academic records, transcripts, marksheets, or grade reports, and any certificates (including I/GCSE, AS, A level, Indian exam certificates), degrees, diplomas, or statements of graduation or completion. If you are currently attending secondary school, send all available records at this time, including a list of your courses in progress.

For your college/university attendance (tertiary level): submit all official transcripts, marksheets, or grade reports, and any certificates, degrees, diplomas, or statements of graduation or completion from each college or university attended (except any campus of the University of Colorado). Documentation is required regardless of the length of attendance, whether or not courses were completed, and whether or not you believe the record will affect your admission or transfer credit. Failure to list and submit transcripts from all institutions previously attended before enrolling at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Boulder is considered to be a violation of academic ethics and may result in the cancellation of your admission or dismissal from the university.

Students from China & India

If admitted, students from China and India must be particularly careful to submit complete official academic credentials (for university-level work). Every page of each document must bear an original stamp or seal of the institution. Chinese students only need to submit English translations of transcripts and diplomas and must submit diplomas showing every degree awarded. Students from India must submit individual marksheets for each semester or year, in addition to separate diplomas showing every degree awarded.

All academic documents received by the University of Colorado Boulder become the property of the university. The university scans all academic records into an electronic application file and destroys the paper copy shortly after that. We are unable to return any original or official academic records to the student. If you will have trouble replacing your academic records or any of your academic documents, please contact International Admissions at intladm@colorado.edu for possible alternatives before sending your original or expensive documents.
