International Credentials

International applicants must submit specific academic credentials including secondary and/or post-secondary records to be considered for admission to the University of Connecticut.

Your submitted high school transcript(s) should include your senior classes, class rank (if applicable), and latest grades earned. Postsecondary official transcript(s) from each institution attended are also required whether credit is desired or expected. Transcripts must be submitted to UConn directly from the secondary institution, either electronically or by mail in a sealed envelope.

All academic credentials not written in English must be accompanied by an official, certified English translation. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions may request additional credentials as needed.
