Procedure to Request Transcripts

In compliance with FERPA guidelines, all requests for transcripts must be in writing. Requests may be mailed or faxed. Click here for information on the difference between official and unofficial transcripts.

The fee for each copy of a student’s transcript (official or unofficial) is $5 per copy, which must be paid before the transcript can be sent or picked up. There is an additional fee for rush transcripts.

There are two ways to request transcripts:

1) Fill out the downloadable transcript request form, or pick up a copy of the form in the registrar’s office. It must be filled out completely in order to be processed.

OR

2) Mail or fax a letter to the registrar’s office including all of the following information:          

• Name at time of attendance
• Dates of attendance and/or year of graduation
• Social Security number, student I.D. number (if known) and birthdate
• Mailing address to which transcripts should be sent
• Your signature*
• Your contact information (email and/or phone and home address)

*Requests that do not contain the student’s signature will not be processed.

Please note that a minimum of three (3) working days should be allowed for the processing of official transcripts, and that the average processing time is five (5) days. A delay may be encountered during the two weeks preceding and the two weeks immediately following the beginning and end of each semester. Additional time is needed during these periods to accommodate the process of adding degree statements and certification statements to transcripts.

In addition, as a result of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, transcript requests must be made in writing by the student (official transcripts may not be requested by parents, siblings, etc.); requests must include the student’s signature; and requests must be received by mail, fax or in person. 

Email requests will not be processed as the student’s signature is required for the release of records. Finally, no transcript request will be honored until the financial account has been given clearance by the business and finance office.
