International High School Credentials

International freshmen applicants who attended a high school outside the US will need to submit a transcript to complete your application. Here are a few policies to note:

  • Unofficial high school transcripts are acceptable for freshmen applicants to get an admissions decision. It’s important to bring in your original official transcript to the Admissions Office before your first day of class. Staff will compare the official transcript to the unofficial to verify its accuracy. Use the search tool in the table below to find your high school’s country to see what we need for your file.
  • If your original document is not in English, you can email a certified or attested translation to admissions@ualr.edu.
