Transcript Exception Request

If you indicate that a transcript is not required, you must request a transcript exception from the Colleges portion of the Schools Attended section. You can do this online only before you submit your application. If you need to request a transcript exception after you have submitted your application, please contact the AAMC Support Center at 202-828-0600 or send a message.

Below are the reasons for seeking a transcript exception. You must select only one option:

  • Canadian CEGEP (collège d’enseignement général et professionnel) or Grade 13 program.
  • Current or future coursework (spring, summer, fall).
  • Multiple-degree or consortium/cross-registration program with no separate transcript available.
    • Choose this option if no separate transcript is available from the school where coursework will be attempted. Only one transcript is required for schools you attended more than once, as long as all coursework appears on the same official transcript.
  • Foreign institution or study abroad program sponsored by a U.S., U.S. territorial, or Canadian institution — credits transferred.
  • Other foreign institution — no credits transferred.
  • Institution temporarily closed — currently unable to provide transcript.

By selecting an option on this page, you are requesting a transcript exception; exceptions are not granted automatically. Furthermore, exceptions granted in previous years are not valid for other application cycles. A new request must be submitted with each new application submitted.

Please carefully research the availability of your transcript(s) before completing the Transcript Exception Request. If the AMCAS program denies your request, you will be required to provide a transcript or a detailed letter from the appropriate registrar’s office. If the AMCAS program reviews your request after a transcript deadline and subsequently denies the request, the program cannot extend your deadline and cannot send your application to the school(s) for which deadlines have passed.

If you need additional help with your Transcript Exception Request, speak with your prehealth advisor or the AAMC Support Center at 202-828-0600 or send us a message.
