- Golden Gopher Application or Coalition: Self-Reported Academic Record form
- Common Application: Courses & Grades and Testing sections
You are required to report your 9th-12th grade courses and grades exactly as they appear on all of your original academic reports, transcripts and any examination results, such as, but not limited to: IB, IGCSE, O/AS/A-level, HKDSE, SPM, CISCE/CBSE, and WAEC.
- If your transcripts are not issued in English, certified, true line-by-line, literal English translations are required for filling out the Self-Reported Academic Record Form.
- Do not adjust your grades in any manner. Do not weight grades. Do not average or convert them.
- If you are in your last year of secondary/high school, you will list your "in-progress" equivalent to US High School 12th grade courses for those that are not yet graded.
- Do not send your high school transcripts.
EXAMPLE: If you went to school in China and now attend a U.S. high school, you need to report your Chinese school courses and grades (e.g. 1-100 grading scale) exactly as they appear on your original Chinese transcript issued by your Chinese school. Report your course names in English; however, you should not report your grades in the A-F grading scale if they appear on your U.S. high school transcripts.
The University of Minnesota accepts results from TOEFL iBT, IELTS Academic, PTE Academic, and CAE C1 Advanced. Due to COVID-19, additional English proficiency measures are accepted for Spring 2022 and Fall 2022 admissions. To learn how to meet the University of Minnesota's English proficiency requirements, visit our English Proficiency Information page.
Students should report their highest Total or Overall scores as well as Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing subscores from one test date using the Self-Reported Academic Record form. Do not "superscore" your tests. The University of Minnesota Twin Cities does not consider MyBest Scores: Sum of Highest Section Scores of the TOEFL iBT Score Report to meet the minimum total score requirement for admission.
If you send your official test scores to the University of Minnesota from the testing agency, we will use your official scores in our review of your application.
International Applicants should report their highest composite or total scores and associated subscores as well as Writing (ACT) and/or Writing & Language (SAT) scores using the Self-Reported Academic Record form. Do not "superscore" your tests.
If you send your official test scores to the University of Minnesota from the testing agency, we will use your official scores in our review of your application. Visit our ACT and SAT information for freshman admission page for more information.
Since the Self-Reported Academic Record form or Common Application does not capture all of the information from your transcript, the Office of Admissions requires a copy of your official South Korean high school transcripts. Please log in to your Application Tracker and upload a copy of your official transcripts including a list of your 12th grade courses in progress. You also can self-report your test scores uploading a copy of your official test score report(s) via Application Tracker.
