Restrictions

• Any financial hold on a student's account must be cleared before a transcript will be released, however, ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ provides official transcripts to students with outstanding balances if the student requests the official transcript to:

  2. transfer from one institution of higher education to another
  3. apply for state, federal, or institutional financial aid
  4. join the United States Armed Forces or Illinois National Guard
  5. pursue other postsecondary opportunities
• In addition, ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ will provide an official transcript to a current or prospective employer notwithstanding a financial hold on the student's account. Students seeking an aforementioned exemption to the financial hold should contact Student Accounting.
• Payment for orders must be received before a transcript request will be processed.

Fees

• $10 for each electronic/PDF transcript
• $12 for each printed transcript sent via the United States Postal Service first-class mail (regular mail)
• Federal Express (FedEx) delivery service is available for an additional fee

Packaging for Paper Transcripts

• Transcripts are packaged in a sealed security envelope. If the seal is broken, the transcript is no longer deemed official.
• Attachments can be included with the transcript per your request. See the FAQ below for more information.
• If more than one transcript is being sent to the same address, they will be shipped in one large envelope containing each individually sealed transcript.

Unified Graduate Level

• Academic records for students pursuing doctoral-level credit prior to August 2016 have been consolidated into a unified graduate level record. This change incorporates credit hours, grades, quality points, and term grade-point average from the formerly separate master's and doctoral levels into a single graduate level moving forward. As a result, a recalculated cumulative grade-point average for combined master's and doctoral level credit appears on the official transcript. Credit earned at the graduate business or law levels remain separate and are not affected by this change.
