Are you Bilingual? Apply for a Special Seal on your Transcripts
Calling all bilingual 11th and 12th grade students: If you’re fluent in two or more languages, you can apply to have an official Seal of Biliteracy added to your high school transcripts.
The Seal of Biliteracy is placed on a high school graduate's transcript by the state of Utah to certify for employers and universities that the student has demonstrated proficiency in English and at least one world language. It is evidence of a student's readiness for a career, college and for engagement as a global citizen.
High school juniors and seniors are eligible to apply for the seal starting Tuesday, December 1, 2022. The application window closes on Friday, January 20, 2023. The testing date has not been posted but will be held between March 1st-17th. There are no fees associated with the first application. But if a student chooses to demonstrate fluency in more than one world language, a $20 testing fee may apply.
To apply, students must fill out the Seal of Bi-Literacy Application on-line (login with your CSD login/password). As part of the application process, students may be required to take a language proficiency exam sometime between March 1-12. Individual schools will determine the date, time and location of testing as well as a make-up testing date. For frequently asked questions, click here.
