How to Request Official Documents for Undergraduate Admissions

Transcripts

Request official transcripts from each school you have attended.

• Paper Transcripts: Paper transcripts must be mailed in the school’s sealed envelope. They should be mailed to Jacksonville University, Office of Admissions, 2800 University Blvd. North, Jacksonville, FL 32211.
• Electronic Transcripts: Request official, electronic transcripts from your guidance counselor or school Registrar. We accept official transcripts from schools who use the following programs: Parchment, Escrip, Naviance and SPEEDE.
• Faxed Transcripts: Faxed transcripts are not considered official.

Transcripts Abroad

If you have attended an institution abroad, we require an official transcript as well as an official evaluation of that transcript. We accept evaluations from any approved NACES organization. NACES members may be found at www.naces.org. Please choose the course by course evaluation with the calculated GPA option. If your high school transcripts are written in English, and the primary language of your high school is English, you may not be required to submit an evaluation.

GED Score Report

If you have taken the GED, we require an official GED score report as well as a personal statement. The personal statement should be two-three paragraphs long. The content should include information about your academic motivation, career plans, and reason for earning a GED. Typically, admission to JU requires a minimum score of 700 on the GED. Students with a passing score below 700 will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
