Transcripts

A transcript is a comprehensive record of your academic progress, including transfer courses, credit earned by exam, and earned degrees.

Your name appears on your transcript as it appears on your university record. Official transcripts include the university seal and the signature of the registrar.

Student academic records are classified as confidential and may be released only with the student's written authorization and signature, in accordance with the Public Information Act and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. Beginning in September 1999, transcripts sent to other Texas schools include TSI and core curriculum information if available.

How to order a transcript.

Transcripts may be ordered online, by mail, by fax or email with signed pdf order form, in person, or by proxy. The cost is $10 per transcript.
