What do I need in order to fill out the Academic Record (Courses & Grades) section?

To fill out the Academic Record (Courses & Grades) section you will need:

  • A computer with internet connection
  • A copy of your unofficial transcript listing courses and grades from 9th-11th grade as well your current or upcoming 12th grade course titles (Do not enter your courses or grades from memory!)
    • You should not submit a transcript as part of your application. Any transcripts submitted will not be used as part of our application review process, nor count as part of a complete application.
  • Your ACT, SAT, or other standardized test scores (if you are choosing to include an ACT/SAT test score in the review of your application.)

What should I remember when I complete my Academic Record (Courses & Grades)?

As you're completing the form, remember that...

  • You must be accurate. Have a copy of your unofficial transcript in hand to ensure accuracy.
  • You must be complete. Report all coursework—both completed and in progress.
  • You must be honest. Do not weight grades or change any information as it appears on your transcript.

For full descriptions of these expectations, you can review our Verification of Self-Reported Academic Record Policy.

How much time will it take to complete the form?

We estimate that it will take about 45-60 minutes to complete the Academic Record (Courses & Grades) on the application. Allow for more time if you have attended multiple schools or colleges. The form allows you to save your work, so you don't have to complete the form in a single session.

Should I still submit my high school transcript, just in case?

No. You should not submit a transcript as part of your application to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Instead, you must self-report your courses, grades, and test scores as part of your freshman admission application. Any transcripts submitted will not be used as part of our application review process, nor count as part of a complete application.
