Contact your high school or GED testing location, and request that official transcripts be sent to the college or colleges of your choice. There may be a fee associated with official transcript copies. If you have attended any college, contact the college and have your transcripts mailed to the college or colleges you are applying to. You must submit official transcripts for all schools you have attended, even if it was only for one class.
Contact the SAT/ACT board and have your test results submitted to the college(s) if necessary. Not all colleges will require that you complete the SAT/ACT. Colleges and universities that do require SAT/ACT scores may require a minimum score in order to apply.
Provide your application fee to the admissions office. The application fee for schools and acceptable payment methods will vary from school to school.
