Step 1: Submit final high school transcripts by July 1
- AP/IB scores should be requested by June 24th
FIRST YEAR STUDENTS: Before the end of your senior year, or just after graduation, ask your high school to send DU your final official high school transcript. **If you took any concurrent or dual enrollment college courses then you need to submit these transcripts as well. Photocopies, scans, faxes, emails, and any other unofficial electronic or paper transcripts will not complete this requirement.
Your final concurrent/dual enrollment college transcript(s) must be received by June 24. Make sure to send your final transcripts as early as possible to ensure that you'll be able to register for classes on time in late July!
TRANSFER STUDENTS: Official college transcripts must be received via a secure online transcript service or in a sealed envelope directly from the college/university to be considered official. Photocopies, scans, faxes, emails, and any other unofficial electronic or paper transcripts will not complete this requirement. Your final college transcript(s) must be received by June 24.
Please have transcripts sent to:
University of Denver
Undergraduate Admission
2197 South University Boulevard
Denver, CO 80208-9401
For the most updated information on transfer credits and submitting official transcripts, please see the Office of the Registrar's website.
To see how your transfer credit was received (please allow time for your credit to be processed), see your degree audit.
In addition to official transcripts, if you took AP or IB courses, you need to confirm that your official scores are submitted directly to DU.
To request that your AP scores be sent to the University of Denver, you should do so the day of your exam(s), but you can also make the request afterwards through the AP portal (school code is 4842).
For official IB scores, if you make the request before July 5 you should contact your school's Diploma Program Coordinator to have them submit a request to IB on your behalf. For requests after July 5th, IB graduates can request for their transcripts to be sent to colleges directly by placing a request through the IB portal.
Step 2: Take care of your finances.
Accept your financial aid offer and set up your DUPay portal.
Step 3: Apply for Housing.
Click here for the Housing Application. If you live within 25 miles of the DU campus, you may be eligible to waive the on-campus hous.ng requirement. You can find conditions and instructions on the Housing Release Form.
June 15 - Deadline to apply for Access and Transitions Programs housing (contact Student Affairs and Inclusive Excellence or the Transitions Program Coordinator for additional information).
Step 4: Submit your proof of immunization.
Submit proof of immunity (or a completed and signed Certificate of Exemption Form) by June 1 (see Health and Counseling Center website for additional information). Your ability to register for classes may be impacted if your proof of immunity or an exemption form is not received in time. Proof of immunity before course registration is required by Colorado State law.
Step 5: Submit your DU ID photo online.
Your DU ID Card is the way that you access buildings on campus, spend flex money, use meal swipes at the dining hall and get student discounts at locations across Denver and Colorado. This is also how you receive your RTD ID Card, which allows you free transport on all Denver buses and trains. You will need this ID card from your first day on campus, so make sure to submit your ID photo online and your Pioneer ID Card will be printed and ready for you at check-in for Discoveries Orientation in early September. NOT submitting the photo ahead of time will mean you will need to wait in long lines the day-of to get your photo taken and printed at the ID Card office. Don’t forget to complete this important step! The deadline for online submissions: Monday, August 30.
