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.
If you do not have or do not know your Internet ID and password, you may use this option to order an official transcript online. You will need a valid email account (from any provider) to complete your request.
Please note: orders for electronic transcripts placed during regular system maintenance (Sundays, 6 a.m.-noon) will be accepted, but not processed until the next business day.
Find out what you must include in your request and where to send it.

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 paper 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 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.
An electronic (secure, certified PDF) transcript is "official" in its electronic form as long as it is not altered. 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.
While electronic transcripts are widely accepted, confirm with your recipients that they will accept this format before ordering.
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.
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.
