FAU goes to SSAR

Florida Atlantic University goes to Self-reporting Academic Record (SSAR)

The University has adopted the Self-Reported Student Academic Record (SSAR). This new method allows students to enter all courses and associated grades that have been attempted, or will be attempted, for high school and/or college credit without requiring the submission of an official transcript to the university (official transcripts will be required after high school graduation only).

Effective immediately, the process to apply for admission to FAU consists of:

1. COMPLETING THE ADMISSIONS APPLICATION ONLINE AT https://apply.fau.edu and pay the $30 application fee.

2. CREATE Self-reported Student Academic Record (SSAR) at www.selfreportedtranscript.com/ssar/Login.aspx. We ask that students fill out their SSAR while looking at their transcript to ensure accurate reporting.

3. SEND SAT/ACT official test scores to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions (SAT code: 5229 | ACT code: 0729)

We encourage you to notify students to complete the SSAR instead of sending transcripts to our Office. Using the SSAR will eliminate delays in delivery and processing times for application review.

At this point, there are two options to complete the process. Students can submit an FAU application before sending their SSAR. After completing the admissions application students will be automatically redirected to the SSAR website and their application information will be linked. If a student has already applied, they will receive a confirmation e-mail with an application confirmation number and an option to link their SSAR to FAU.

If a student has already made their SSAR and they need to link it to your FAU application, they can go here and use their FAU application confirmation number to link them. The student can find their FAU application confirmation number in the email FAU sent them after they completed their application.

Please feel free to contact a member of our Recruitment staff at 561-297-3040 or admissions@fau.edu if you have any questions about this new process.    You can also review the SSAR FAQ’s here.

Go Owls!
