What is an official transcript?

Official transcripts are certified and signed by the University registrar. They can be sent directly to you or another recipient at your request.

A transcript is "official" only as long as it remains in its sealed white envelope. Do not open the sealed envelope if you are forwarding your transcript to another party (an institution, employer, or other person). Open the envelope only if you have ordered the transcript for personal use.

Multiple transcripts (each in its own sealed white envelope) sent to a single address will be enclosed in a manila envelope. You may open the manila envelope.

Consider sending a certification letter instead

If your recipient did not specifically request a transcript, a certification letter may be sufficient (and, in most cases, available to you free of charge). Find out more here.
