Questions

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about requesting your academic transcripts.

Current students, former students, and alumni can all request their transcripts. Most schools keep academic records permanently, so you can usually request them even years after graduation.
You will typically need your full name, date of birth, student ID (if available), the years you attended, the name and address of the recipient institution or employer, and the purpose of the request. CareerZoom walks you through each field.
An official transcript is sent directly from your school to the recipient and carries an institutional seal or signature. An unofficial transcript is a copy you receive for personal reference. Most graduate schools and employers require official transcripts.
Some institutions place holds on records if you have outstanding balances. A formally worded request can help clarify your situation and follow the correct process, but the school retains the right to withhold records until fees are cleared.
