Electronic Transcripts (eTranscripts)

It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the recipient accepts electronic PDF transcripts and that the recipient’s email address is entered accurately as there is a charge for each request regardless of whether the email address entered is valid or not. Once ordered, the recipient’s email address cannot be changed. If the request needs to be sent to a different email address, a new order must be placed. Charges for eTranscripts are nonrefundable.
Once the eTranscript has been processed, the student and/or the recipient will have 30 days from the first day the transcript is opened or accessed to view, print, and save the PDF transcript.
