FOR GRADUATES ONLY
By accessing this page, you have indicated that you are a graduate seeking educational transcripts or graduation verification.
OVERVIEW
Occasionally, graduates may be asked to prove that they did, in fact, graduate. In general, the person asking for the proof (an employer, a school etc.) will either have the graduate obtain proof OR they may want to obtain proof directly.
If the person, school, or company requiring the proof wants to obtain it directly from us, the graduate should provide them with the contact information that can be accessed from the home page of this website.
If the person, school, or company requiring the proof wants the graduate to obtain the proof, the graduate should follow the instructions found below.
For graduates, the sole obtainable evidence of graduation is an official educational transcript. This is a document that provides information about your status as a graduate. An official educational transcript is printed on security type paper and carries the raised seal of the school. No other form of proof or verification of graduation is available to graduates.
Graduates may order educational transcripts to be sent to their address OR to the address of a third party (such as an employer, a school etc.).
In order to obtain transcripts, a graduate must be in good standing with the school having met the required academic and financial requirements.
TRANSCRIPT FEE SCHEDULE
Effective May 12, 2008, the following fee schedule applies to all graduates. Beginning on that date, there are no free transcripts provided to any graduate.
For each transcript sent to an address within the U.S. or Canada:
◆ By first class mail (including APO and FPO military addresses)--$20.00
For transcripts sent to an address outside the U.S. or Canada:
◆ By international airmail--$40.00 (US)
Delivery is by regular mail only. Overnight service or personal pick up is not available.
Note: SEALED TRANSCRIPTS—on rare occasions an employer, a school, or others will require that you provide them with sealed transcripts. The term sealed transcripts simply means that we provide the transcripts to you or to them in a special sealed envelope that carries an additional school seal over the envelope flap. If you require sealed transcripts, the additional fee is $5.00 per transcript. The sealed transcript fee is in addition to the fees noted above.
TRANSCRIPT ORDERING PROCEDURE
Orders may be placed only by regular mail or express delivery (Federal Express, UPS, DHL, Express Mail) and must be accompanied by a money order payable to Official Records Service Center LLC for the total fee for that order. Orders may not be placed by telephone, fax, or e-mail. Order may not be placed or picked up in person. Cash, personal checks, business checks, debit cards, and credit cards are not accepted. A money order is the only form of acceptable payment. The money order must be payable to OFFICIAL RECORDS SERVICE CENTER.
Orders must include the following information:
◆ Graduate’s name at the time of graduation*
◆ Graduate’s student ID#**
◆ The school name
◆ The name and complete mailing address where the transcripts are to be sent (transcripts may be sent to the graduate or to a third party—in either case, the name and complete mailing address must be provided even if you think we already have that information on file)
◆ A daytime contact telephone number***
◆ The signature of the graduate (we cannot release transcripts unless the graduate signs the order)
* Unless a name change has already been recorded on your record.
** If you do not know your ID#, please provide additional information that will help us locate your records (such as your address at the time of graduation, your date of graduation etc.)
***The contact telephone number is only used if there is a problem with your order.

Transcript orders should be sent to:
OFFICIAL RECORDS SERVICE CENTER LLC
80 Broad Street, 5th Floor

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECEIVE TRANSCRIPTS?
18-days to 30-days. We do send transcripts by any method other than first class and international airmail. Holiday periods and other periods of office closure may affect delivery speed.
Although we try to process transcript orders as quickly as possible, a shorter processing cannot be guaranteed regardless of the circumstance. Graduates must anticipate their need for transcripts and order them well before they are needed.
OPTIONAL ORDER CONFIRMATION SERVICE
We will be happy to notify you by e-mail when your transcript order has been sent. Confirmation service is not automatic. If you want confirmation service, you must include a request as part of your order, and you must clearly provide a valid e-mail address. Confirmation service is not available by telephone, fax, or regular mail. We cannot confirm receipt of an order; we can only provide confirmation after the order has been processed and sent. The Official Records Service Center assumes no liability whatever for this complimentary confirmation service.
Disclaimer: The Official Records Service Center supplies information that is found within the records of the school. We assume no liability beyond taking reasonable care in the transmission of that information.
