Ordering UCSC Transcripts

A transcript is an official copy of a student's academic history at UCSC. Two versions of your official UCSC student records are available from the Office of the Registrar at 190 Hahn: with or without evaluations.

Transcripts with evaluations include:
Courses graded P, A, B, C, D, F, W, or I. NP will appear for courses taken fall 2001 and after. The grades of A and B may be modified by a plus (+) or minus (-). The grade C may be modified by a plus (but not by a minus). Incompletes lapse at the end of the subsequent quarter; in letter-graded courses, the I lapses to an F, in Pass/No Pass grading, to a No Pass.

Degrees awarded, honors, number of transfer credits, evaluations of courses, and an evaluation of comprehensive examination or senior thesis also appear.

Transcripts without evaluations include:
Courses graded P, A, B, C, D, F, W, or I. NP will appear for courses taken fall 2001 and after. The grades of A and B may be modified by a plus (+) or minus (-).

Incompletes lapse at the end of the subsequent quarter; in letter-graded courses, the I lapses to an F, in Pass/No Pass grading, to a No Pass.

The fee is $10 per copy.

For regular service (First Class Mail), allow one to two weeks for processing from the time your request is received by our office. During the peak period (November through February), processing may take longer.

For regular service, please be aware that due to the large volume of mail moving through the U.S. Postal Service system each day, it is not possible to track First-Class mail to confirm delivery. Due to the inability to track First-Class deliveries, the Office of the Registrar cannot provide refunds for transcripts lost in the mail.

If you require confirmation of delivery, you may request and pay an additional fee for your transcript to be mailed via next-day service. This service provides fast delivery, tracking number, and confirmation that the transcript was received by the recipient. This service expedites transit time, not processing time.

Federal Express is used for all express mail destinations, except post office box addresses and does not deliver on weekends. Next-day mailing service for post office box addresses utilizes U.S.Postal Service Express Mailing, which does not provide tracking or confirmation of delivery. The additional charge for Federal Express within the U.S. is $20 for up to three transcripts going to the same address. The additional charge for Federal Express outside the U.S. is $30 per transcript (with or without evaluations). Please note that if the appropriate fee has not been received for next-day service, your transcript will be sent via regular mail.
