STEP 3

Send in college transcripts & scores

If you have past dual enrollment / transfer credit, have your previous institution(s) send official, electronic college transcript(s) to REG-transcripts@arizona.edu.

We’ll also need any of your past AP scores, CIE grades, CLEP scores, IB scores, or ACT / SAT Math scores once they’re available!
