In the application process, official and unofficial transcripts serve different purposes:
- Official Transcripts:
- These are issued directly by your institution and sent to CU Denver in a sealed envelope or through a secure electronic delivery system.
- Official transcripts are required for final admission decisions and verification of academic credentials.
- They must be received directly from the issuing institution (or a school official for secondary school) to be considered valid.
- Unofficial Transcripts:
- These can be copies or scans of your original transcripts that you upload during the application process.
- Unofficial transcripts allow for preliminary review and admission decisions but do not replace the need for official documents.
- You may use them as placeholders until your official transcripts arrive.
