Transcripts for Former Illinois Students
A transcript includes a student's courses, grades, GPA, and degree. University of Illinois official transcripts bear the Registrar's signature and are on secured paper. We no longer use a raised seal; however, the seal is printed on the transcript. Transcript requests are typically processed within 5 business days of our receiving a correctly completed request; however transcripts of students in attendance at the University prior to Fall 1982 are archived in a secure location and may require 2-3 weeks retrieval and processing time.
Note: This website is for Urbana-Champaign campus transcripts only. For University of Illinois at Springfield transcripts, refer to www.uis.edu, and for University of Illinois at Chicago transcripts, refer to www.uic.edu. Records for College of Medicine and College of Nursing students reside at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Charges
Transcripts are $5 each.
Express delivery is available for an additional fee (see Special Shipping).
Eligibility
Students in debt to the University are not entitled to receive diplomas or transcripts until the indebtedness has been paid or suitable arrangements for payment have been made, unless the student has pending a bankruptcy petition seeking a discharge of all such indebtedness, or such indebtedness has been discharged.
Formerly and currently enrolled students who have paid their University charges are entitled to receive, upon written request, transcripts of their academic records. Students who graduate or withdraw from the University and have outstanding loans from the University of Illinois will not be issued official transcripts until they have completed exit interviews with the USFSCO University Students Financial Services and Cashier Operations, 162 Henry Administration Building.
