How to Submit Transcripts and Test Scores

See what documents are needed in your Student Center. Then choose the category that fits you:

High School Transcript:

• Your official high school transcript should include grades 9-12.
• If you already completed high school, we need to see your complete high school transcript and proof of high school graduation.
• If you are currently in your senior year of high school, a final official transcript with your graduation date is due by July 15, before classes begin at SFSU.

College or University Transcripts:

• Submit transcripts from all colleges attended.
• Transcripts must be sent from each college/university attended.
• If you earned an Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T), make sure the transcript shows the ADT certification date.
• If applicable, submit your General Education Certification after it has been certified by your school’s records or registrar’s office.
• If you took college courses in high school or are in a dual-enrollment program, you can submit your college transcripts to be considered for college credit.

International Transcripts:

• Transcripts are required for each school you attended, even if it was outside of the U.S.
• Third-party (WES, ECE, etc.) credential evaluations are not accepted.
• All official transcripts must be submitted to SFSU in your institution’s native language. If your transcript is not in English, it must be accompanied by a word-for-word translation completed by a certified translator.

Test Scores:

• If you have taken the Advanced Placement (AP) Exam, the IB (International Baccalaureate) Exam or the CLEP (College Level Examination Program) Exam, please request the official test scores for the appropriate exam that you took.
• Applicants who need to demonstrate English Language Proficiency through TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo or PTE, please request the official test scores for the appropriate exam that you took.

A transcript is considered official when:

• It is sent directly from your school or institution to SFSU. Students should not email or upload transcripts themselves.
• If sent by mail, it arrives in a sealed envelope from the school and has not been opened or tampered with. Any transcripts that arrive with a broken seal or that appear to be tampered with will be considered unofficial.

You can send your transcripts in two ways:

1. Electronically (preferred): Contact your school and request that your official transcripts be sent to SFSU through a secure third-party transcript vendor.

   We accept electronic transcripts from vendors such as:

   • eTranscript California*
   • e-SCRIP
   • Speede*
   • Scoir
   • Parchment
   • Overgrad
   • Credential Solutions
   • Joint Service Transcripts (Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard)
   • National Student Clearinghouse

   * These vendors are recommended if available at your institution.

2. Submit your transcripts by mail to:
   Office of Undergraduate Admissions & Recruitment
   San Francisco State University
   1600 Holloway Avenue
   San Francisco, CA 94132

Official AP/IB/CLEP Test scores are not automatically forwarded to SFSU from your previous institution. Therefore, if you have taken any College Board Advanced Placement (AP) tests, International Baccalaureate (IB) tests or College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests, arrange to have your official results sent to San Francisco State University by visiting the following websites:

• AP or CLEP - visit CollegeBoard
• IB - visit the International Baccalaureate Website

• After submitting, log in to your Student Center.
• Click “Check Admission Status” under the “New Students” box to confirm if your transcripts were received.

If your status is not updated within three weeks, contact us.
