If you've completed 24 (including in progress) transferable college credits from an institution accredited by a regional or national accrediting organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), including the American Council on Education (ACE), you do not need to send your high school transcripts.
Coursework taken outside the U.S. may require additional evaluation by World Education Services (WES ICAP).

If necessary, request your official standardized test scores be sent directly to UND.
