A transcript (or any other document sent by the issuing institution) is considered official when it bears the intuition’s seal, is signed by the issuing authority, and is sent directly by the issuing institution or delivered in the institution’s sealed envelope. Electronic transcripts sent through EDI are considered official as well.

Freshman applicants: If you initially submitted an official transcript that excluded your date of graduation, you must submit a final transcript indicating your date of graduation once it is made available by your high school.

If you attended a high school, college, or university outside the United States, your transcripts must be evaluated by an evaluation service recognized by UHD. Please refer to the UHD web site http://www.uhd.edu/admissions/naces.htm for a list of suggested credential evaluation services.

If you were born outside of the United States, you will need to present, in person, your immigration documentation, passport or citizenship certificate in order to determine residency for tuition purposes. If you were born outside of Texas, you may need to provide information regarding your employment in the state in order to qualify for instate tuition. Information about residency can be found on the UH-Downtown Office of Admissions website, at www.uhd.edu.
