Although the AMCAS program can accept transcripts that are not accompanied by a Transcript Request Form, the program is not responsible for transcripts that can’t be matched to your application because of a missing form. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to use the pre-barcoded Transcript Request Form. When you request an official, paper transcript for the AMCAS program, you need to inform the relevant registrar that the Transcript Request Form must be attached to the transcript when it is sent. If a school has placed a financial hold on your transcripts, the AMCAS program will not grant a Transcript Exception Request under any circumstances.
We recommend the use of a printed PDF AMCAS Transcript Request Form to avoid any delay in transcript processing. To generate a PDF AMCAS Transcript Request Form, select the Create Transcript Request Form button next to the appropriate institution in the Transcripts subsection of the Schools Attended section.
Next, select from the drop-down menu the name that will be displayed on the transcript (you may select among the Legal, Preferred, and Alternate Names you entered earlier). Then, you must verify and/or modify the prepopulated School Address. Finally, select Print Transcript Request Form. Please note: If a school name is updated in the application, an updated Transcript Request Form should be generated and included with the transcript.
