Student Self-Reported Academic Record (SSAR)

GED graduates must submit their official GED results, along with official partial high school transcript(s).

Any student who attended a high school outside of the U.S. for more than one semester, regardless of whether they graduated/will graduate from a United States high school, will be exempt from submitting the SSAR. Refer to international admissions for more information on submitting transcripts.

While rare, some students attend schools that do not provide A-F grades or do not provide grades that can be easily converted to A-F grades. This would include narrative evaluations, a mastery transcript, or other non-standard evaluation. If you believe this applies to you, contact the Office of Admissions after submitting your application.

If you have followed an educational curriculum patterned after the traditional U.S. system, you will complete the SSAR. If the curriculum followed cannot be represented on the SSAR, contact Admissions via our Contact Us page for further instruction.

All freshman applicants who are not exempt from the SSAR requirement as outlined above must complete and link the SSAR for admission. Note that a high school transcript submitted from the high school or through a third-party vendor, like Naviance or Parchment, DOES NOT substitute for the SSAR requirement. The Courses & Grades section of the Common App also DOES NOT meet the SSAR requirement. If you are unable to complete the SSAR, contact Admissions via our Contact Us page.

Once submitted, your SSAR will be reviewed by our committee. If a mistake is noted (for example, a one credit class reported incorrectly), you will receive an email stating the mistake(s). To complete the SSAR requirement, you will need to fix the mistake and resubmit your SSAR.

Every academic course that you attempted for high school credit while in middle school must be listed on the SSAR. The SSAR entry process allows you to state that the courses were taken while in middle school.

We want your SSAR to be as accurate as possible. If you need to make corrections, or if your schedule changes, you should update your SSAR.

How to make changes:

• Log in to your Gator Portal and use the SSAR button to access and update your SSAR.
• Resubmit the form once you have finished making changes.

If you are admitted to UF and choose to enroll, you will be required to submit an official final transcript from your high school and any college you have attended by July 1 for verification by the Office of Admissions. Admissions will use your transcript(s) to verify the accuracy of your SSAR.
