Test Scores & Transcripts

Submitting transcripts

TWU requires an official transcript from every institution where college credit was attempted or earned. Check WebAdvisor for your list of outstanding application documents.

Note: Academic documents provided directly by an institution and all attested documents become the property of TWU and will not be returned. Additionally, TWU cannot accept faxed transcripts or notarized copies of academic records, from either the applicant or the institution.

Submit all application materials, certified checks, money orders and fee waivers to:

304 Administration Drive Ste 102

Electronic domestic transcripts may be sent through a secured third-party provider to: oap@twu.edu

Types of Transcripts and How To Send Them

U.S. transcripts may be electronic or printed. Any sign of tampering will render the transcript unofficial and invalid.

Electronic Transcripts

Electronic transcripts and test scores must be sent through a secured, third-party service directly to TWU from the sending institution (excludes international transcripts).

  • Speede, Parchment, Credentials Inc, eScrip-Safe, National Student Clearinghouse, among others
  • These services can send the transcripts electronically to OAP@twu.edu

  • Applicants can take official documents to the Dallas, Denton and Houston campuses
    • Applicants are advised to call and schedule a time to drop off documents at the Dallas and Houston locations

Military Transcripts

Military transcripts are official documents that allow veterans to earn college credit based on their military training and work history completed while in service.

International Transcripts

International transcripts must be evaluated by a NACES or AICE member evaluation service provider. Provide a Course-by-Course evaluation of all studies completed outside of the U.S.

  • The Course-by-Course evaluation must be submitted directly to Student Records by the service provider and must include a copy of the academic documents that were provided for completion of the evaluation
  • A Course-by-Course evaluation is considered to be an evaluation which includes individual course titles, U.S. grades, U.S. credit hours and GPA along with the provider’s summary of the recommendation
