Official Transcript

An official transcript is a comprehensive record of the student’s academic progress.  It includes transferred courses, credit earned by exam, degrees awarded, and any test scores required by the state.  An official transcript lists the name of the institution, the official institution seals and the signature of the Registrar.

Charge: $5.00

Overnight (optional):  $10.00

Payment for overnight requests must be received in our office by 2 p.m. in order to be processed the same day.  Overnight requests can only be mailed to a physical address (no P.O. Box).

Official transcript requests are typically processed within 2 to 4 working days.  Students with academic records prior to 1998 may require up to 2 weeks to process.

Official transcripts may not be released for students who have a “hold” placed on their records by the institution.  Students may request official transcripts in person, by mail, by fax, or by third party request.

	IN PERSON:  The student may pick up the transcript request form at the Office of the Registrar located in Tandy Hall 105.  The form must then be taken to the Business Office for payment.  Once the Business Office processes the form, the student must return the request form to the Office of the Registrar for processing.
	BY MAIL:  The student may complete the Transcript Request form and mail it along with the appropriate fee.
	BY FAX:  The student may complete the Transcript Request form and Credit Card Payment form then fax both forms to the Business Office for processing.
	BY THIRD PARTY:  The student must submit a written authorization in order for a third party to request a transcript.  This third party must present picture identification and a written authorization (from the student whose name is on the transcript) at the Office of the Registrar before the transcript request can be accepted.

Unofficial Transcript

An unofficial transcript lists all of a student’s coursework but does not include the institution’s name, seal or signature of the Registrar.  Unofficial transcripts may be issued to students who have an institutional “hold” placed on their records.

Charge: None

NOTE: Current students may print their unofficial transcripts using Scorpion Online.

 Third Party Authorization

Third party written authorization must contain the following:

	student’s complete name;
	student’s identification number;
	student’s date of birth;
	student’s social security number (if student identification number unavailable);
	student’s signature (must match signature in file); and
	written statement authorizing the request and/or release of transcripts.
