Transcripts are confidential records and must be ordered by the student whose record is being requested.
About your transcripts:
- Transcripts will not be released until holds on accounts are cleared.
- Transcripts held for current session grades or degrees are mailed approximately two weeks after the end of the term.
- Transcripts held for pick up in our office must be claimed within 30 days. Picture identification is required to pick up transcripts.
- Because your original signature must be included, a transcript order cannot be accepted over the phone. Computer generated signatures are not valid.
- Please allow two working days for processing your transcript order. Allow extra time for processing at peak periods (end of semester and commencement).
