Submitting your Transcript(s) for Admission
Along with an application (and sometimes test scores or other materials), an official transcript is one of the most important items the University of Louisville uses to make an admission decision.
The University of Louisville requires official transcripts, sent directly from the institution upon request by the applicant.
Depending on your application and history, the University of Louisville will request that you submit your high school and/or college transcripts in order to make an admission decision. Transcripts are sent separately from the application, by the institution. After submitting your application, please log in to your UofL Application Gateway and view your Application Checklist to see which transcripts we have requested.
If you attended a previous institution by another name, we advise you contact your UofL admissions counselor to ensure your transcript isn't held up in processing.
High School Transcripts
Different high schools have different procedures for sending official transcripts, so you'll need to ask your school counselor to submit your transcript to UofL. Please note that all transcripts MUST come directly from the school in order to be considered official.
How to send your transcripts:
Official transcripts can be sent through online platforms, such as Parchment, Folio, and Naviance. For other options to send your official transcript, your high school counselor can either e-mail a copy to us at adetran@louisville.edu, fax it to (502) 852-4776, or mail it to our office at: "Office of Admissions; University of Louisville; Louisville, KY 40292."
Whatever the procedure, follow your school counselor's instructions precisely to ensure we receive your transcript.
College Transcripts
Typically, official transcripts can be requested through a previous institution's Registrar's office via their website (recommended), in-person or by mail.
Online Request Steps (Recommended):
- Do a web search for "________ transcript" inserting the name of your previous institution in the blank.
- Once you find the institution's web request, complete their form.
- Request that the transcript is sent to the University of Louisville.
- Repeat for all transcripts requested in your Application Checklist.
To Send Via Mail or Email:

Next Step: Check your Admission Status
Once we receive your transcript, you will see a green checklist on your Application Checklist item and your admissions file will be reviewed. Be sure to check your Application Checklist for any other incomplete items, and watch your email and your UofL Application Gateway for any updates regarding your admission status.
