What is a transcript?

An official transcript is the reproduction of a complete, unabridged permanent academic record validated with the University seal, facsimile signature of the registrar, and date of issue. A key to the transcript is included, which contains a full statement of pertinent definitions.

Transcripts are not released when there is a financial hold on student's or former student's account. 

Please be advised:  A one-time 14-day grace period is given to resolve holds preventing the processing of a transcript.  After 14-days, transcript requests with unresolved holds will be canceled and the request must be resubmitted once the hold is resolved.
