Transcripts

The Registrar’s Office is the official source for all student academic records. Transcripts are issued only at the request of the student.

Important Notes:

• To protect the confidentiality of student and alumni records, no telephone or email requests for transcripts will be honored.
• All financial obligations to the University must be met before transcripts will be issued*.
  
  *Students have a right to access a transcript for purposes of seeking employment regardless of whether that student owes an institutional debt, provided the student has authorized the transcripts to be sent to the employer and the employer affirms to the institution that the transcripts are a prerequisite of employment.
  Additional instructions for the employer affirmation process will be provided after the transcript order to be sent to the employer is placed.
   
• Veterans or active duty military members may request a paper copy of their official transcript at no charge by completing the manual transcript request form (option 2) and returning it along with a copy of one of the following:
  • DD Form 214, 215, 256, NGB Form 22
  • Military ID Card 
  • VA Issued ID Card for Health Care
  • Veterans ID Card
  • Veterans Designation on Driver's License or State Veterans ID Card
