How do I get my official high school transcript?
Contact your high school or go to your high school’s website for more information about requesting an official high school transcript. Your high school transcript must be sent to us by your school. If you earned your General Educational Development (GED) certificate or a High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED), submit your official score report in addition to all high school or homeschool transcripts.
Transcripts can be sent electronically or by mail.
- Electronic transcripts must be sent through a secure document-sending service to etranscripts@admissions.wisc.edu. Transcripts sent through email, as an attachment, will not be accepted as official.
- Paper transcripts sent to the Office of Admissions and Recruitment must bear an official school seal or be printed on the school’s custom watermarked/security paper.
