GENERAL INFORMATION
TRANSCRIPTS
The student’s signature is required to release a transcript. Requests for transcripts will be honored promptly in the order that the requests are received; however, during busy periods such as examinations, commencement or registration, there may be some delay. Therefore, transcripts should be requested well in advance of these periods. For a $7 fee, students can order transcripts online at
http://www.credentials-inc.com/. Online transcript requests will be processed and mailed within one day. When ordered in person or through the mail, transcript requests take an average of three business days to process and mail. There is a $15 rush fee for transcripts requested on demand. No transcript of any record will be issued for a student whose financial obligation to the University has not been satisfied and/or for a student in default of a student loan or who has an overpayment of Title IV funds. The student should be aware that courses/degree programs may not transfer. The transfer of course/degree credit is determined by the receiving institution. To order copies of your transcript, please visit
