Transfer Applicants

An official high school transcript (or equivalent, such as a GED), official transcript(s) from every college/university attended, and a college report are required.

Transcripts

• Ask your high school to submit your official high school transcript (including your graduation date). If you attended an international high school and you have leaving exams (such as A-Levels or IB results), you are required to submit these scores. If there are challenges to obtaining your high school transcript, you may send a copy of your high school diploma, a document that indicates you have graduated from high school, or a copy of your leaving exams.
• Request official transcripts from every college/university attended.
• A midyear transcript / mid-term report is not required for transfer admission.

College Report

In a college report, your academic dean, advisor or other school administrator enters your college GPA and information regarding your academic standing at the institution. This information is essential for the review of your application.

• Ask an official at your current institution to fill out a college report form.
  • To locate the Common Application College Report form, go to the Common App Program Materials page and scroll down to "Offline Documents."

  How to Submit Required Materials

  • High school and college officials may submit application materials online through the application or by email attachment to credentials@stanford.edu.
  • When ordering college transcripts, please use credentials@stanford.edu as the contact email.
  • Give school personnel ample time to complete and send the forms prior to the March 15 application deadline. It is your responsibility to ensure that we receive official copies of all required documents.
  • Materials submitted by others may take several days to process. If your checklist is not complete by the deadline, please simply check your Stanford portal regularly until we have processed all items.
