How to send Official Transcripts as a Non-Degree applicant:

In order to verify appropriate prerequisites, you must submit official transcripts. Please request official transcripts from your respective institution(s):

• If you are currently enrolled in HS, your HS must submit your official transcript to us.
• If you are currently enrolled in college/university, but do not have a Bachelor’s degree or higher, you must have an official transcript sent to us that proves the prerequisites are met for the course you intend to take.
• If you are currently not enrolled in school, please have an official transcript sent to us that proves the prerequisite(s) are met for the course you intend to take.

Transcripts may be delivered via the following methods:

• (Preferred) Electronically through SENDedu, Docufide, or Naviance
• Fax: (303) 273-3509
• Postal Mail: Mines Admissions Office, 1812 Illinois Street, Golden, CO 80401*

*Please note, any college transcripts that are hand-delivered, even in a sealed envelope are considered unofficial. Please have the college/university send your transcript(s) directly to our office in order for them to be considered official.

How to send Official Test Scores for non-degree applicants:

• SAT or ACT: If you are currently enrolled in high school please request an official copy of your SAT or ACT test scores (to be sent directly from the testing agency). For the ACT, our code is 0500; for the SAT, our code is 4073.

• AP or IB: If your proof of prerequisite is from an AP or IB test score you must request those scores be sent to Mines from the appropriate testing agency.
