<p>Schools that do NOT require:</p>

UCSB
UCR</p>
<p>Please correct me if I’m wrong.</p>
<p>UCB requires HS transcripts</p>
<p>Even though Berkeley lists hs transcripts as their requirement, I thought it was optional? I’m transferring to Berkeley…</p>
<p>UCD doesn’t require it if you have IGETC.</p>
<p>I personally had to submit my HS transcript for Cal. Idk why.</p>
<p>Uh, is this new? I just transferred last year with TAP. I never had to submit my HS transcript.</p>
<p>^ if you are talking about ucla, they don’t 
they didn’t ask me to submit one</p>
<p>^oh, well, i applied to multiple UCs (Including UCI) last yr and none of them asked for HS transcript. Then again, I’m a nontraditional students, so that might have been the reason.</p>
<p>@berkelyphil</p>
<p>shouldn’t you know if they require it or not by now? Why are you still speculating?</p>
<p>@JC1029</p>
<p>They won’t ask for your HS transcript unless you SIR to them, which you obviously didn’t. </p>
<p>I’m going to UCSC, and they asked for it.</p>
<p>Berkeley deffs requires hs transcripts. The only time that I can think of when they don’t is when someone completes their foreign language req at their CCC, and not during hs…or when someone is an international student. And that’s just me guessing haha</p>
<p>The only reason they need HS transcripts is for the foreign language requirement, correct?</p>
<p>We were told at calso that even international students require hs transcripts for Berkeley.</p>
<p>AFAIK, Berkeley does NOT require HS Transcripts (at least that’s how it is in my case). However, I am a “nontraditional” student, but only from an “age perspective” (completed HS over 10 years ago). Other than that, I’m a local California Community College transfer like anyone else.</p>
<p>Now maybe it is different for people in other departments such as Letters and Science etc., but when I called my admissions officer (I’m an EECS admit btw) and explained that it would be really difficult to obtain my HS transcript because it was such a long time back and that I’d have to get it from another state (Minnesota), she explained that it would be OK if I did not have it, but they would have to list me as a “non-high-school-graduate” or something to that effect.</p>
<p>So the bottom line: It is DEFINITELY optional (at least for us Engineering students)</p>
<p>UCSB requires them if you don’t complete the IGETC</p>
<p>@victor - seems like its only “optional” in special cases like yours</p>
<p>^^ redo, yes that could definitely be possible because it seems like people in other departments have to meet some kind of language requirement (usually associated with IGETC I think)…but then again, for engineering students IGETC is not recognized or advised.</p>
