SAT or ACT scores are optional, but may be requested if you have been out of high school for less than three years. If you have not taken the SAT or ACT, please email OCE_Admissions@uml.edu to discuss alternative options.

  • If you go online and search your prior college or university's name and "transcript request" you should be able to easily find the information you need to obtain transcripts from your prior institution(s). This also works for the GED and HiSet exams.
  • If your prior institution(s) have electronic transcript sharing available, such as Parchment, Clearing House, or E-Script please have your documents sent to OCE_Admissions@uml.edu. For documents being sent via postal mail please address them to:
