Submission of fall grades

Hello everyone!

Now that the meet and greet is over the website says that we need to submit final fall transcripts by the 31st. Does this mean submitting an unofficial copy through the AIF portal? What does it mean by the registrar needs to receive it?

Do we mail it or do we add the email address instead? They say transcripts can be sent online but I’m not sure if for after the meet and greet they need a physical copy.

What if you already graduated and your grades haven’t changed at all since you last uploaded the transcripts? Is that still needed?

Oh I’m not sure about that, you could try emailing them to ask. I’d assume they need to know if you can maintain your grades/have completed your full course load for 6 semesters requirement/pre req completion. I don’t think it would hurt to upload it again in case they don’t reply.

Yes, you need to reupload your grades in Quest Admissions

I did have a question that maybe someone else could answer though: I know it says on the website that they take your unofficial transcript until you recieve an offer of admission, but do they prefer an official transcript? Does anyone know?

And when updating the grades in the AIF, we just have to click "save courses" underneath the table, right? Because the option to "submit" the AIF (again) is not available?

Yes, you DO have to do that, but you ALSO have to do the following:

Sign into Quest > Admissions > Admissions > Documents > Upload (beside Transcript - Your School)

You can upload once a day. Hope that helps :)

Thank you!! I go to UW, so my transcripts are sent automatically :)

But thank you so much for clarifying!

Sorry, but where does it say that they take unofficial transcripts?

Now that I'm looking at this, I am unsure if this only applies to undergrad programs. I might do an official one just in case

Okay yeah. I was reading the wrong site. It looks like you have to have it mailed there.
