Ordering Transcripts
Official transcripts are released only on written authorization of the student whose records are requested. A $5 charge for each official transcript must accompany the request (SPU accepts cash, VISA, Mastercard, or personal check). The University reserves the right to deny official transcript services for indebtedness to the institution.
To receive a copy of the transcript, students must mail, fax, or bring in a written request to Student Academic Services. SPU will not accept email transcript requests. The letter must include:
- Name under which the student attended.
- Student ID number (or Social security number).
- The last quarter and year the student attended.
- If the student is enrolled in a current quarter of instruction, state the number of classes for the quarter.
- The number of official copies required.
- The name and address that will receive the official transcript (student may also pick up transcripts in Student Academic Services).
- If paying by credit card, include the credit card number, expiration date, amount, and signature.
- Student signature is required before a transcript can be released.
In-Person Requests
- Transcript requests (no more than 4 copies) can be printed while you wait
- The wait time is usually between 10-30 minutes
- If you want to request that your transcripts be mailed to another institution, transcripts will be sent within 2 business days
Faxed Requests
- All faxed requests will be sent within 2 business days
Mailed Requests
- All mailed requests are sent in five business days after they are received by SPU
Unofficial transcripts do not have a charge and do not contain the seal of the University, thus they may not be acceptable to most institutions. Unofficial transcripts may also be faxed (please include the fax number in the written request).
*Coursework taken prior to Autumn Quarter 1984 needs to be hand-entered in our system. Due to the extra time that this may take, we are unable to guarantee that transcripts will be available for immediate pickup with academic history prior to 1984.
