Your Undergraduate Applicant Journey

Step 2. Submit Additional Materials

• High School Transcript(s)

  Your high school counselor or registrar can submit your official high school transcript electronically or email to admission_documents@up.edu. Make sure your transcript shows, at a minimum, your 9th grade courses through your latest completed term.

  If you prefer, you can upload your unofficial high school transcript through your University of Portland Applicant Portal after you have submitted your application. After confirming your enrollment at UP, you will need your high school counselor or registrar to send your official final high school transcript.

  *International students are required to submit an official high school transcript directly from their secondary school.

• Letter of Recommendation or Secondary School Report

  Your counselor or teacher can submit a letter of recommendation or a secondary school report electronically or email to admission_documents@up.edu. We are currently waiving the requirement of submitting either a letter of recommendation or a secondary school report to eliminate barriers to the application process.

• SAT/ACT Test Scores (optional)

  University of Portland is test-optional for applicants applying for admission through Fall 2025. On your application, indicate if you would like your scores to be considered in your evaluation. Your application will not be at a disadvantage if test scores are not included. If you want to include your scores, you may submit in one of the following ways:

  • Record self-reported scores on your application
  • Download the score report (PDF) through your College Board/ACT account and send to admission_documents@up.edu; or
  • Have the testing agency submit your scores for you (our ACT code is 3500 and our SAT code is 4847).

  *If self-reported scores are used for admission purposes, you are required to submit official test scores once you decide to attend University of Portland.

• International Student-Specific Admissions Documents

  If you are an international applicant planning to attend University of Portland with valid non-immigrant visa status, you will need to submit additional supporting documents with your application.

  International applicants must have an official transcript or an attested copy of an official transcript as verification of your academic record issued in the original language from the original issuing source (e.g. secondary school).

  Non-native English speakers must provide proof of English language competency. University of Portland accepts a number of language proficiency exams and benchmarks to satisfy this requirement.
