TRANSCRIPT REQUESTS
Current and former students must order their official transcript online to be delivered either by standard mail, express shipping methods, or electronically. For fastest delivery of transcripts, please choose eTranscripts for electronic delivery. All other transcript order types will experience delays of 5 business days in processing times.
Orders are authorized through the National Student Clearinghouse. When you order a transcript through this service, you can track your request online and receive email notifications when the transcript is generated and processed for delivery. The tracking mechanism also allows you to monitor when an electronic transcript is actually opened by the intended recipient. Law & Graduate Tax students should consult the Law School Registrar, and online non-credit students should consult the information below.
As of Spring 2024, transcripts delivered by the National Student Clearinghouse on behalf of °®°®Ö±²„ will present all academic levels (undergraduate, graduate, law, continuing studies, etc.) on one transcript, regardless of program attended. The exception to this is non-credit online programs attended via our online partner. Transcripts ordered for pick-up, please pay special attention to instructions on the ordering website.
