Official Transcript
You can request your transcript either in person at the Registrar's Office or by mailing in a Transcript Request Form.
We cannot accept email requests and we cannot fax transcripts.
Once we receive your request it takes approximately 3-5 business days for your transcript to be sent out. There is no fee for this service. Students in attendance before 1980 may not have a computerized record. For those students who have microfilmed records, transcripts may take up to a week to process. In an effort to provide all students and alumni with official transcripts in a timely fashion (usually 3-5 days), we provide one personal copy of the official transcripts per semester to those who request it. There is never a limit on official transcripts sent directly to prospective employers, other universities, scholarship providers, etc.
Unofficial Transcript
If you need a transcript for your own purposes, you may request an unofficial transcript either in person at the Registrar's Office or by mailing or faxing a signed Transcript Request Form.
