Transcripts

What is a Transcript?

A transcript is a certified, official copy of your permanent record. In accordance with the Public Information Act and Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended, student academic records are classified as confidential and may be released only with the student’s written authorization and signature. NO ONE ELSE (including your spouse, parents, etc.) can request your transcript, as your written permission is required by law.

Things to Know When Requesting a Transcript

  1. The standard processing time for transcripts is currently 2–3 business days and up to 7 business days depending on extenuating circumstances.
  2. Credit/debit card (Discover, MasterCard, or Visa) is the only payment option available.
  3. No transcript can be issued to a student who is indebted to the university until the debt has been paid in full. Currently enrolled students can view their holds in their student center on iSIS. (How-to)
  4. The fees paid for additional services do not expedite the processing time of a transcript, only the delivery time after processing. Delivery fees do not include any applicable fees for transcripts.
  5. Students who will not continue their enrollment or who will graduate can order a no charge transcript up to 14 days after the term ends. After that date transcript fees will apply.
  6. An electronic PDF transcript will remain valid for 30 days. At that point the security certificate will expire and, if required, a new transcript must be ordered.
  7. We strongly recommend confirming that the recipient will accept an electronic transcript before ordering.
  8. Students who last attended the university prior to Fall 1983 will not be able to use the electronic PDF delivery method.
  9. Once you place an order, you will be charged for the order. If holds preclude processing the order, you will have no more than 28 days to resolve the hold before your credit card is charged and the order is closed without transcript delivery. Holds resolved after 28 days will require the placement of a new order.
