All students are required to upload unofficial transcripts to their student portal (created upon application submission). Official transcripts are not required for an admission decision, but if admitted must be sent directly from your school at least four weeks prior to the start of the semester.
Before submitting an application for admission, review the country specific requirements for admission to UCM.
UCM evaluates transcripts in-house; however, if we are unable to evaluate your transcripts you will be required to have your transcripts evaluated by one of our Approved Credential Evaluators. We accept external evaluations from NACES member organizations.
If you choose an Approved Credential Evaluator -
- Use only one service. We will review your application based on the first transcript evaluation received.
- You must request a course-by-course evaluation with a calculated GPA.
- Transcripts not issued in English must be provided in the original language along with an English translation.
Sending Official Transcripts:
Final official transcripts are due at least four weeks prior to the start of the semester. Transcripts must be sent directly from the institution's Registrar's Office or Controller of Examination office electronically to intladmit@ucmo.edu or by mail in a university's sealed envelope to the following address:

Undergraduate students must receive approval from your advisor. If you are a graduate student, we strongly suggest you meet with your advisor and graduate coordinator before changing your major.
As a graduate student, you must be fully admitted into the other program and meet all of the other program鈥檚 admissions requirements. Also, you must have a graduate UCM GPA of 3.0 or higher to request a change of major. Earned credit at UCM may not apply to the newly selected program and could delay the degree completion time.
Program costs differ so changing majors could impact the overall tuition cost of your degree.
If you wish to defer your admission to a future semester, you will need to submit a deferral application using the link in your student portal. Remember to use the same email address originally used to apply. You will also need to pay the (non-refundable) $30 US dollar deferral fee.
Some graduate programs require the GRE or the GMAT for admissions. Please review your program in the Graduate Catalog to determine if you. If your program requires the GRE or GMAT, scores should be sent to:
