What is an Official Transcript?An official transcript is the University's certified statement of your academic record. The official transcript is printed on security sensitive paper and contains the University seal and signature of the University Registrar. It lists courses completed and grades earned, and the semester in which they were received. The official transcript also contains notations of distinctions, majors, minors, options, and degrees received. Potential employers, graduate schools, and professional associations most typically request that the student authorizes release of an official transcript. For your protection, we will not release an official transcript without your signature. There is NO CHARGE for transcripts. You may request up to 5 transcripts per day and up to 50 transcripts per semester. Transcript Requests

Situations that will Prevent Us from Issuing a Transcript
End of Semester Grades and Degree ConferralTypically, semester grades are available on myLeo the day after grades are due. Degree conferral statements are recorded to the students' academic record as follows:
Requests for transcripts will be held until all end of semester processes have been completed. Advising TranscriptsAdvising transcripts are intended for academic advising, on-campus use. Currently enrolled students may obtain a copy of their advising transcript, without charge, by using myLeo, or by presenting a picture ID at the Registrar's Office. Advising transcripts contain the same information found on an official transcript, however the advising transcript is not certified by the Registrar's Office as a complete and accurate record of the University. The advising transcript is presented directly to the student, on plain white paper and may be duplicated. The Registrar's Office will not mail advising transcripts to any third party regardless of permission from the student. Note: In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), transcripts requested by email will not be accepted. Office of the Registrar P.O.
