[Frequently Asked Questions about Transcripts]

To provide you the best service possible and maintain the security of your academic record, we require the following information:

Requesting Your Official Transcript
The official transcript is the College's official statement of your academic record. The official transcript is printed on security-sensitive paper and contains the signature of the College's Registrar. The transcript lists all course work, with grades in chronological order. If applicable, the official transcript also contains notations of distinctions, minors and degree received. Official transcripts will only be mailed to a designated third party. Our standard method of delivery is via first class U.S. Mail.
Please keep in mind that processing time at the beginning and end of each semester could increase due to the high volume of requests received.
For your protection, we will not release transcripts without your permission, except in the case of subpoena or law enforcement directive.
If you were enrolled prior to 1980, you must request an official transcript by mail, fax, or in person; you will not be able to utilize the Student Information System (SIS).
If you were enrolled from 1980 to the present time, you can request an official transcript through the Student Information System (SIS). In this time period you were assigned a PIN, which is needed to log in to SIS. If you don't know your PIN, please contact the Registrar's Office.

Requesting Your Unofficial Transcript

An unofficial transcript can be requested through SIS, or by completing the Transcript Request Form (PDF) and mailing, faxing, or delivering it in person to the Registrar's Office.
