For Fall First-Year and Transfer Students

Official, final high school transcripts and college 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your documents by the July deadlines, your registration may be placed on hold, and the offer of admission may be withdrawn.

Questions about your documents? Submit questions via admissions.ucr.edu/ask before any document deadlines.

Step 1: Confirm Required Documents

As soon as possible, log into My.UCR.EDU and view your Academic History tab. 

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. 

Provide UCR’s CEEB code: 004839. A CEEB code is a 6-digit code used by College Board to identify each education institution. It ensures materials like transcripts and test scores are sent to the right place, which is UCR.

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. 

Step 3: Confirm Receipt of Documents 

Once your documents are received, it may take up to 10 business days for UCR to process them. Log into My.UCR.EDU and select the Academic History tabs to see if “Received” appears next to each document on the list. If it does appear, the document has been received and processed. 

Step 4: Report Grades (If Needed)

Report any D or F grades received during your fall and spring semester via the Academic Update Form.

Step 5: Complete All Coursework

Complete all coursework listed on your application. If there were any changes to the courses listed on your application, report them via the Academic Update Form.

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.
