Submit Transcripts

Once you submit your application, the required transcripts that you need to provide will be listed. Here are some transcripts that you may be asked to provide:

  • High school transcript: If you earned fewer than 24 college-level credits after graduating high school, you'll be required to submit an official final high school transcript. 
  • GED transcript: If you earned fewer than 24 college-level credits after earning your GED, you'll be required to submit an official GED score report issued from the state which awarded the GED. Students who earned their GED in Alaska can request an official GED transcript using the State of Alaska GED Transcript Request form.
  • College transcript: PWSC/UAA requires official final transcripts from every institutionally accredited institution you attended, including attendance during high school. If you are currently taking a college course, an in-progress transcript can be submitted for admission; the final transcript is required after grades are posted. Transcripts are not required from any University of Alaska campus.

For how to order a secure electronic transcript or mail an official paper transcript, see further information on the Transcripts for Admission page.
