In compliance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) as Amended, transcripts cannot be issued without your written consent; therefore, the academic records and registration office requires that all official and unofficial requests for transcripts be made in writing with an original signature required or by electronic authentication via the National Student Clearinghouse. Scanned signatures and e-mail requests are not accepted.
To make payment using a credit or debit card, you must submit your request via the National Student Clearinghouse where the NSC ensures the security and confidentiality of your credit card information. Transcripts requested via the NSC are $3 each plus an NSC processing fee of $2.25 per recipient address. Transcripts are processed within 1-2 working days and mailed using first-class postage, unless overnight processing is requested. See fees below.
Current and former students can request official transcripts by submitting a Transcript Request Form to the academic records and registration office along with payment of $3 per transcript, payable by check, money order or cash. Transcripts are processed within 1-2 working days and mailed using first-class postage, unless overnight processing is requested. See fees below.
Normal processing (1-2 days): first-class mail — no additional charge
