Transcripts

An official transcript is a copy of a student’s entire academic record from the University of Cincinnati, bearing the official University seal and stamp. Only official transcripts may be released to a student or sent to a third party. In recognition of the confidentiality of student records, an official transcript of that record will be released only at the request of the student, except under due process of the law.

Transcripts of a student's complete academic record at the University of Cincinnati may be requested in the following ways:

• Online Requests - If you have an active student identification number (ID) and PIN, you may request your transcript by completing our online Transcript Request Form. You will be required to enter your Username and Password, and you will be asked to verify your current address information. When you submit an online request, you will need to pay all fees by providing a current Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit card at the time of the request.*
  
  Degree candidates should be aware that degree certification may not be posted for up to three weeks following grading of your final term. 
  Requesting a transcript online will prompt the printing of the transcript for the next business day.  We cannot hold transcripts requested through the Online Request system.  Online requests should only be made when transcripts are to be printed as soon as possible.  View recent grades or verify your recently awarded degree online before requesting a transcript.
  
  
• Written Requests - If you do not have an active student identification number and PIN, or if you choose to pay for your transcript by check, you may request a transcript by submitting a written letter of request. Written requests may take 5-10 business days to process after the request is received.

  In your letter be sure to include: Your current name (including any previous names you may have)
  Your current address and a daytime telephone number
  Your Social Security number or Student Identification Number
  Your date of birth
  Address to which the transcript is to be sent
  Approximate years of attendance
  UC College(s) attended and any degree(s) received
  Number of transcripts requested
  Check or money order payment for the appropriate processing fee*
  Your signature

  If you are requesting that the transcript be sent to you, please let us know if you wish to have your transcript sent in a sealed envelope. The transcript will be stamped "Issued to Student in Sealed Envelope" only to be opened by a third party.
