Submitting Your Transcripts
Follow these guidelines when submitting transcripts to TMDSAS.
- Complete the [Colleges Attended] section first.
- You must complete the [Colleges Attended] section prior to sending us your transcripts. Completing
this section creates the necessary placeholders that allow us to upload your transcripts
once received.
- Have transcripts sent.
- You must arrange for an official electronic transcript (preferred) or a sealed, official
physical transcript to be sent directly to TMDSAS.
- We strongly recommend that electronic transcripts and transcripts sent by mail be
accompanied by a TMDSAS Transcript Request Form (see below).
- One official transcript is required from every regionally accredited U.S., U.S. Territorial,
or Canadian college attended. This includes:
- Colleges at which you took a course, even if transfer credit was later accepted by
another school.
- College-level courses taken while in high school, even if they did not count toward
a degree at any college.
- You can also send it yourself. TMDSAS will accept a transcript sent by an applicant
as long as it is in the official sealed envelope from the registrar's office.
- Transcripts submitted by applicants cannot be more than a year old from the dated
submitted to TMDSAS.
- Check your status:
- It is your responsibility to verify and ensure that TMDSAS has received all of your
official transcripts.
- TMDSAS sends an automatic email once your transcript has been uploaded into your application.
- Additionally, you may check the status of your transcripts regularly by logging into
your application and viewing the [Status] page. Scroll down towards the bottom of
the page until you reach the [Supporting Documents] heading.
- If a document has been received, the receive date will appear next to the document
name. Remember that transcripts can take 21 days to be received and processed. Keep
this in mind when contacting TMDSAS.

Transcript Request Form
A Transcript Request Form is strongly recommended to ensure TMDSAS can quickly match
your transcript(s) to your application.
- Print/attach the Transcript Request Form from the TMDSAS website or from the [Colleges Attended] section of the application.
- Fill out the Transcript Request Form.
- Submit to the registrar’s office of every accredited U.S. and Canadian college/university
you have attended. If submitting an electronic transcript, most electronic transcript
services give you the option to add attachments to your order. You can upload the
Transcript Request Form as an attachment.
- Be sure to advise the registrar’s office to enclose the Transcript Request Form (or
TMDSAS ID# if requesting electronically) with your official sealed transcript and
mail it directly to TMDSAS. Transcripts that are not accompanied by the Transcript
Request Form can result in a delay in processing the document.
