Transcripts

Official transcripts are those submitted directly to UA in a sealed envelope by the originating institution. Official electronic transcripts are those submitted directly to UA by the originating institution, normally through a third-party provider such as the National Student Clearinghouse or Parchment. UA will only accept a transcript directly from the student provided it is delivered in the envelope sealed by the originating institution and marked as official.

Official transcripts being sent via regular mail should be sent to the following mailing address:

Office of the University Registrar
The University of Alabama
Box 870134
Tuscaloosa, AL 35487-0134

Official transcripts being sent via FedEx, UPS or other carrier should be sent to the following physical address:

Office of the University Registrar
The University of Alabama
801 Campus Drive
206 Student Services Center Tuscaloosa, AL 35401

In cases where an email address is needed for electronic delivery, the transcript should be sent to transfercredit@ua.edu.

Transient Students

Admission as a transient (visiting) student may be granted for any term. Standard application procedures must be followed. Approval may be given on the basis of an official statement of good standing from the last institution attended. Transient status may be granted for only one term.
