Transcripts
- The Onward Program requires an official
copy of your transcripts from the high school where you received your
diploma. If you didn't graduate from high school, you must send in an
official copy of your GED test scores.
- If you attended any college or
post-secondary institution, it is essential for you to send official
transcripts from all colleges you've attended. This includes colleges from
which you did not graduate, withdrew, or stopped attending. Even if you
attended a college only for a few weeks, you must send an official
transcript from that college.
- In many cases, high schools and colleges
will want to send your transcripts directly to the Onward Program. We cannot
accept faxed copies of any transcripts. Please
have transcripts sent to the address below and not to the UMaine Admissions
Office. If transcripts are sent to the admission office of the University of
Maine, it can delay processing of your application.
