Transcripts & Academic Records

The Transcript is the chronological record of the student's completed courses and grades. It is maintained and distributed by the Registrar 's Office in Founders Hall, Room 113.  To order an official transcript go here.

Students may obtain their unofficial transcripts to make sure courses which they have completed have been recorded correctly. When petitioning to graduate, students need to attach their unofficial "online" transcripts to their petition.

The Academic Record is a list of requirements for each student's field of study and the courses that have been taken to meet these requirements. It is designed to keep students updated on their academic progress and to let them know if waived or transferred courses have been approved and processed.
