What is a transcript?

An official transcript is the reproduction of a complete, unabridged permanent academic record validated with the University seal, facsimile signature of the registrar, and date of issue. A key to the transcript is included, which contains a full statement of pertinent definitions.

Transcripts are not released when there is a financial hold on student's or former student's account. 

Attention: Students who have resolved their Business Services account within the past 24 hours are advised to verify that any holds have been removed in their SOAR account prior to ordering a transcript. If a transcript is requested before the hold is lifted, it may be incomplete. In such cases, students will be required to place a new order and submit payment through Parchment for a complete transcript. It is the responsibility of each student to confirm that no Business Services holds are active before initiating a transcript request.

Please be advised:  A one-time 14-day grace period is given to resolve holds preventing the processing of a transcript.  After 14-days, transcript requests with unresolved holds will be canceled and the request must be resubmitted once the hold is resolved.

Transcript cost vary per delivery method, plus additional Parchment credential fees based on delivery method selected and Parchment sales tax. Total fees are reflected in Parchment at the completion of the order. Delivery methods include:  Electronic, paper pick-up orders, mailed by USPS, USPS International.
