Information for high school partners

Sending transcripts electronically: This is the preferred method of receiving transcripts. There are many secure third-party transcript vendors that your institution may use to submit transcripts to UC Berkeley. Some examples: Parchment Exchange, eSCRIP-SAFE, Slate and National Student Clearinghouse. UC Berkeley does not accept transcripts sent via email attachment; however, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions can make case-by-case exceptions (e.g., the student should submit an Update Form and select the option "I am having difficulty submitting a final transcript/document" for next steps). If your high school is unable to submit transcripts electronically, they may be sent by mail. Send by mail to: UC Berkeley Undergraduate Admissions Transcripts

For questions and inquiries about the status of sent transcripts, by admitted students who have accepted their offer of admission, please contact Cal Student Central.

Information for community college partners

Sending transcripts slectronically: This is the preferred method of receiving transcripts. There are many secure third-party transcript vendors that your institution may use to submit transcripts to UC Berkeley.

For those institutions not using eTranscript California, transcripts may be sent via another secure third-party vendor, and the vendor may send transcripts to our Business Operations office: undergradtranscripts@berkeley.edu. California community colleges should also send a fully certified UC IGETC for all eligible students. The IGETC can be posted on the student’s transcript, or we will accept the IGETC certification form. If your institution is unable to submit transcripts electronically, they may be sent by mail.

Missing transcripts

If more than 3 weeks have passed since you submitted your transcript, or other document please fill out this Missing Transcript Form to create a case. You will need your UC Berkeley email address and UC Berkeley ID along with any information regarding your missing transcript or document. DO NOT fill out this form before 3 weeks have passed as this will delay our process. If you have already submitted this form, please do not submit a duplicate inquiry, if you have a question about your inquiry please respond directly to the email that contains your case information. If your task list shows as incomplete, your document is NOT missing. Please use this link to contact your counselor.
