graduate from high school. You must obtain a copy of your high school transcript and use it to complete the self-reported
section of your application. Your self-reported grades should match those displayed on your transcript. For example, if
your transcript only lists final grades, then you must report final grades, even if you know your semester grades. The
official transcripts will be used to verify the information you self-report. If you provided inaccurate information, your
admission may be revoked or your enrollment cancelled.
You are required to indicate at least which courses you have in progress for any of these subject areas.
If you provide us with each of the 16 high school core competency coursework requirements in this section,
your admission decision will be based upon this information. You will not need to submit a transcript until after
your graduation from high school. If your final high school transcript indicates that you do not meet the minimum
standard for admission to the University of Arizona, your admission may be rescinded.
If you only provide your senior year coursework or do not provide complete information in this section, you will
need to send us an official transcript.
If you fill out this section completely you will receive a faster admissions decision, and the self-reported grades
you provide will replace official high school transcripts during the initial admission review process.
