Official Transcripts

Official transcripts are certified and signed by the University of Minnesota, Morris registrar. At your request, official transcripts can be directly sent to you or another recipient.

An electronic, secure, certified, PDF transcript is “official” in its unaltered electronic form. Each time the file is opened, it will be certified electronically (Internet connection required) to ensure it has not been altered. A printed copy of a PDF transcript is not official. Electronic transcripts are widely accepted, but before ordering, confirm with your recipient(s) that this format will be accepted.

A paper transcript is “official” as long as it remains in its sealed white envelope until it is received by the appropriate recipient. 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 paper transcripts (each in its own sealed white envelope) sent to a single address will be enclosed in a manila envelope that can be opened.

Online official transcript request

The online request is the most convenient way to order an official transcript. Transcripts requested online are available in either printed or electronic (a secure, certified PDF) format. Payment for fees must be paid with a credit or debit card. According to University policy, official transcripts will not be issued for you if you have certain types of holds on your record. You can review your holds online. If you need recently awarded grades or degrees to appear on your record, check your unofficial transcript to be sure that everything has posted before starting the order process.

Consider sending a certification letter

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.

Applicants to the University of Minnesota Graduate School

If you are a current or former University of Minnesota student applying to the University of Minnesota Graduate School, you do not need to send an official University of Minnesota transcript to the Graduate School’s admissions office. However, you should check with your program of interest to see if you are required to submit transcripts directly to them.
