Student Transcripts
A college transcript is a copy of your academic record. It includes quarters attended, credit courses taken, grades received, honors awarded and credentials conferred.
Official Transcript vs Unofficial Transcript
Official transcript: An official transcript includes a seal and signature of the registrar as well as all of your coursework and degree information. Official transcripts are used for reporting information to another college, agency, employer, or institution. Official transcripts are available for purchase and delivery from the Parchment document service. Please resolve any pending matters (e.g. a grade change) before submitting a transcript order.
Unofficial transcript: An unofficial copy of a transcript is typically requested for personal use. An unofficial transcript contains the same information as an official transcript and can be useful for record-keeping or placement purposes. Unofficial transcripts are available at no cost to current or former students.
