How to Request a Transcript

Learn how to obtain official transcripts of your academic records from the Registrar's Office.

Before you order your transcript

Check and clear your holds:

  1. Go to Holds.
  2. Review your holds and take the necessary steps to clear any holds that might prevent you from ordering a transcript.

Log into the Academic History tool to:

  1. View your current quarter grades
  2. Confirm grade changes
  3. Confirm your degree status
  4. Students who have graduated prior to 1991 no longer have access to their online academic history (unofficial transcript) and therefore need to order official transcripts.

Submit your request online

  1. Go to Order Official Documents.
  2. Log in using your PID and PAC or password. If you have graduated you can sign in using your Social Login to order your transcript or view your Academic History.
  3. During Step 2 of the ordering process, click on the hyperlink underneath the search engine to view all ordering options (see diagram below).parchment-exchange1.jpg
