Official transcripts are certified and signed by the University registrar. They can be sent directly to you or another recipient at your request. A transcript is "official" only as long as it remains in its sealed white envelope. Do not open the sealed envelope if you are forwarding your transcript to another party (an institution, employer, or other person). Open the envelope only if you have ordered the transcript for personal use. Multiple transcripts (each in its own sealed white envelope) sent to a single address will be enclosed in a manila envelope. You may open the manila envelope.
The online request is the most convenient way to order an official transcript. You may charge the fees to a credit card or active student account.
If you need recently-awarded grades or degrees to appear on your record, check your unofficial transcript to be sure that everything has posted before starting the order process.
If you do not have or do not know your Internet ID and password, you may use this option to order an official transcript online. You will need a valid email account (from any provider) to complete your request.
Review the delivery options and costs.
If your recipient did not specifically request a transcript, a certification letter may be sufficient (and, in most cases, available to you free of charge). Find out more here.
