Step 3. Request Official High School Transcripts
Request your official high school transcripts to be sent directly to UND. Transcripts can be sent electronically through a secured electronic transcript service or by mail in a sealed envelope to:
UND Office of Admissions
3501 University Ave Stop 8357
Grand Forks, ND 58202-8357
If you've completed any college-level credits, request that your official college transcripts be sent directly from the college / university to UND with the directions above. Typically, official college-level credits are not included on your high school transcripts.
Note: You can self-report your high school GPA or provide an unofficial transcript on your application for a quicker admission decision. We can ;make a preliminary admission offer if you meet our admission guidelines. You’ll be asked to confirm your academic status by providing an official transcript at a later date.
Step 4. Request Official Test Scores
Through summer 2023, ACT/SAT test score requirements are waived for admission. Self-reported GPAs and unofficial high school transcripts are accepted on the application for faster admission decisions. You'll be asked to provide your official high school transcript at a later date.
However, if you've taken the ACT or SAT, you may want to submit your official scores to UND as they can help with placement into English and math courses. Request your official standardized test scores be sent directly to UND.
- ACT Scores = UND Code #3218
- SAT Math & Verbal Scores = UND Code #6878
