Cornell requires applicants to submit official documents only. High school and college transcripts must come directly from the student's school(s). In addition, enrolling students must have their final high school grades sent directly from their high school to Cornell before matriculating.

Please note that the Undergraduate Admissions Office at Cornell University conducts audits to verify the authenticity of final transcripts for a random sampling of entering first-year students. 

For more information about applying, please review the First-Year Applicant Checklist or the Transfer Applicant Checklist.
