Transcripts


What is a transcript?

A transcript is a certified, official copy of your permanent record. In accordance with the Public Information Act and Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended, student academic records are classified as confidential and may be released only with the student's written authorization and signature.

Processing Time

The standard processing time for transcripts is 48 hours and up to 72 hours depending on extenuating circumstances. After the first of September, transcripts requested by active students will be printed from iSIS. To ensure accuracy of this new transcript, the Registrar’s Office staff will closely review every transcript prior to release which may cause a slight delay in the release.
