I'm planning to transfer from Dallas Community College to a university but I'm unsure if I'm required to submit my high school transcript as well. Can someone clarify this for me? Trying to get everything ready for my application.
When transferring from a community college to a four-year institution, the requirements can vary between different universities. However, generally speaking, most universities do require both your high school transcript and your college transcript when you apply.
The high school transcript often helps universities assess your entire academic journey, including rigor of coursework during those years and how you've progressed since. The college transcript, on the other hand, shows your most recent academic performance and achievement in higher education.
Still, I strongly recommend you to reach out to the admissions office of the university you are seeking to transfer into, as requirements can differ based on their specific transfer evaluation process. They can provide you the most accurate guidelines regarding transfer applications and required documents.
