Official High School Transcripts

Official transcripts are those that arrive at our office in an envelope sealed by the institution or local ministry of education.  All documents must be accompanied by a certified English translation. Official high school transcripts are not required for transfer applicants who have completed more than 30 semester hours of college/university coursework. Official Transcripts from all Colleges/Universities attended (if any) should also be submitted.

Minimum TOEFL (71 IBT / 525 PBT) or IELTS (6.0) Score

The UC Denver institutional code for TOEFL is 4875.  The TOEFL/IELTS requirement can be waived if an applicant has completed 6 semester hours of college-level English composition with a “B” average at a United States institution.  Applicants who successfully graduate from Level 6 studies at Spring International Language Center may also be eligible to have TOEFL/IELTS waived.

Original Financial and Bank Statements

Original financial and bank statements are required from each financial sponsor.  Financial documents cannot be more than 6 months old.  Scholarship award letters from private sponsors or government agencies are also acceptable.  The effective date on award letters must correspond with the initial semester of study and must be valid for at least one year.

ACT/SAT Scores

Mandatory for all freshman engineering applicants only. ACT/SAT scores are only required for direct admission to the College of Engineering and Applied Science’s programs.  Admission to UC Denver is still possible without these scores by way of the Pre-Engineering program in the College of Liberal Arts and Science.
