Reporting High School Grades in SRAR:

Students must report their grades exactly as they appear on high school transcripts. For this reason, you will need to have an unofficial copy of your high school transcript when entering grades into SRAR, and we require you to upload the unofficial copy you used to enter your grades. Your unofficial high school transcript can be uploaded to either the SRAR itself, or in your Go Vols Portal.

The University of Tennessee requires the following when filling out the SRAR:

• Enter your grades exactly as they appear on your high school transcript or score report. All offers of admission are conditional until grades can be verified with an official transcript sent to the admissions office after graduation/completion of high school. The deadline to submit your official high school transcript is July 1.
• Enter your final grades for all courses completed in grades 9 through 11.
• For any repeated courses, all grades from all attempts must be included—not just the highest grade.
• If you are a high school senior, choose “In-Progress” for scheduled or in-progress 12^th grade courses you have not yet completed. If you have already completed a 12^th grade course and have a grade, please enter the grade you received.
• Do not apply weight to your grades.
• Do not convert your grades into another format.
• Do not average your grades.
• If your exact course name is not listed in SRAR, please type it in exactly as it appears on your transcript.
• If your grading scale has changed during your time in high school, please report your grades as letter grades. If your transcript lists numeric grades, convert your numeric grades to letter grades using the scale in place for that academic year.
• If your grading scale has changed during your time in high school, please report your grades as letter grades. If your transcript lists numeric grades, convert your numeric grades to letter grades using the scale in place for that academic year.
• In addition to core courses, please list all courses on your transcript.

Once admitted to UT and after confirming enrollment, please ask your high school counselor to submit your final, official high school transcript in one of the following ways by July 1:

• Through Parchment Express (Naviance)
• Through the Common App
• Through National Student Clearinghouse
• Upload to Slate.org
• Submit through SCOIR
• Email a copy to undergradtranscripts@utk.edu
• Mail an official transcript in a sealed envelope to the following address:

Reporting Standardized Test Scores

ACT or SAT (ERW+M) scores can either be sent directly to UT from testing agencies, be visible on transcripts from high school counselors, entered into the Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR), or through your Go Vols Portal. We use the superscoring method, meaning we take your highest section scores of each test taken to determine your new composite score for application review. This usually yields a higher composite score, making your application more competitive.

• Only list scores you have already earned.
• Do not predict a future score.
• Do not list PSAT or PreACT scores.
• Do not list practice test results.

You can take these tests as many times as you want and send us or update your new scores. We will recalculate your overall composite score and update your application. In order to be fully considered for institutional scholarships, standardized tests must be received prior to July 1 at the end of your senior year.

Our codes for standardized tests are as follows:

• ACT: 4026
• SAT: 1843
