REQUEST your transcripts

Please have your final high school transcript sent to admissions@wheaton.edu.  We also need any and all transcripts or score reports that may earn you credit at Wheaton. Here is a list of the kinds of credit we accept and where to send those transcripts or score reports:

• Advanced Placement®(AP): request through CollegeBoard.org. The code for Wheaton College is 1905
• International Baccalaureate: request results be sent to Wheaton College (IL)
• Cambridge Level A or AS exams: we need the centre number,  candidate number, and date of test emailed to academic.advising@wheaton.edu so we can access your scores
• Request any college transcripts and have them sent to admissions@wheaton.edu
• If you have other types of credit, please reach out to academic.advising@wheaton.edu. We can work with you to have the credit sent to Wheaton College

Here is a list of the Advanced Credit by Testing and how the credit articulates to courses at Wheaton College. Please note: We will process the transcripts and score reports in the order we receive them.
