Official Transcripts

The quickest and most convenient way to order official transcripts is to order on-line. However, there are other ways to order that may take more time or may cost more.   The first official transcript is  free, after that the charge is $10.00  per transcript - official and unofficial (in addition to other fees).

The total cost and turnaround time of the transcript will depend on how it is ordered, requested format and method of delivery chosen.

Transcripts can be ordered online, by mail, fax or in person.  Available formats include electronic (secure PDF),  and paper.  They can be delivered, electronically via the  eScrip-Safe Network, standard USPS mail, overnight mail, faxed or picked up in person.   

No transcript will be released until all financial obligations to the University are satisfied and transcript fees are paid.   Plan ahead and order transcripts early.

Please note: When ordering you have the option to have the transcript order held until grades are posted.

Turnaround Time

The time it takes from your request until your recipient receives your transcript varies because of many factors. The most significant factor is mailing time. Making your request through Transcripts-on-Demand or in person will eliminate the mailing time for your request to reach the Office of Student Records/University Registrar. Sending an electronic transcript rather than mailing a paper transcript will eliminate mailing time for the receiver.

You can check on the status of your transcript request by going to the “View Status of Transcript Requests” on Banner –Sutton 2 or on Transcripts Plus website.  This link will show the date your request was completed or if your request is still in process.  Here is what to expect in terms of turnaround time:

• Electronic transcripts requests through Transcripts-on-Demand, usually reach their destination approximately two days from the date of the request. 
• Paper transcripts requested through Banner – Sutton 2 or Transcripts-on-Demand usually take two-four business days to process, not including mailing time.
• Paper transcripts requested through the mail usually take three-five business days to process, not including mailing time.
• In-person request for transcripts can be picked up immediately.
• Please note that turnaround times may increase during the end of each semester, because of increased volume. Be aware that final grades are posted on transcripts about three days after a term ends and degrees are posted approximately three weeks after Commencement.  Please be sure to indicate in the request if you have a deadline by which the transcript must be received.
