Transcripts

The student’s permanent record of courses taken and grades achieved comprise the academic transcript. Credits taken at all other colleges and universities are entered as transfer credits and are not computed in the student’s GPA.

Request for Transcript

Official academic transcripts are issued by the registrar’s office upon a student’s written request and must be accompanied with payment. Fees are found on the registrar’s webpage. The student’s financial account with the University must be in good standing before any transcripts are issued. To request a transcript:

• The student submits the request to the registrar’s office in writing using the form provided online, accompanied by the appropriate fees.
• The registrar’s office verifies the student’s financial account is clear, mails the transcript, and records the date the transcript was issued.
• The student is notified if the University is unable to send the transcript due to an outstanding balance on his/her financial account.

Transcripts are issued only by the registrar’s office for reasons of confidentiality and security. The financial hold is necessary to provide the University a means of collecting overdue bills.
