- The AIS may prompt you to complete the World Language Placement Assessment and/or Math Placements.
- Directions to complete the assessments will be sent to your Pacific student email. Please complete the assessments before your advising and registration day.
- The AIS may prompt you to complete the World Language Placement Assessment and/or Math Placements.
- Support: Please contact advisingcenter@pacificu.edu if you have any questions or would like to take the language or math placements even if not prompted by the AIS.
Step 3: Send final transcripts and score reports
Send transcripts from all schools you have attended as soon as your final grades are posted. Send score reports from any AP or IB tests you completed once they are available (usually mid-July).
- Purpose: To have all your previously earned credits transferred into Pacific and applied to your overall degree.
- What you need to do:
- Transcripts: Connect with your high school and/or previous college/university to have them send official transcripts to our Admissions office.
- Note: If you were dual enrolled in college credit through your high school, you must contact the college you earned credit from and request official transcripts be sent to Pacific. Your high school transcript will not guarantee college credit and the college will not send the transcripts automatically.
- Visit the website of the school to look for directions on how to send an official transcript
- Pacific’s preferred method: Send electronically to admissions@pacificu.edu
- If mail is your only option, please have your sealed transcripts sent to:
