The Office of the Registrar will issue official transcripts of a student’s academic record, including courses, grades, GPA, and degree upon request of the student.
Transcripts can only be released directly to the student or to a person or entity designated by the student (a photo ID is required when picking up a transcript in person). Transcripts will include final grades as shown in Student Self-Service only, not necessarily final grades as shown in course learning management systems such as Canvas, Moodle, etc. Official transcripts are $8 per copy and must be paid for when ordered.
Current or recent students who have an active Student Self-Service login and password can submit an online order for an official PDF or paper transcript using the Student Services link on the myUIconnect page in Student Self-Service.
Note: If you do not need an official transcript, you may choose to print your academic history from Student Self-Service. This website is for Urbana-Champaign campus transcripts only. For University of Illinois Springfield transcripts, refer to www.uis.edu, and for University of Illinois Chicago transcripts, refer to www.uic.edu. Records for UIC College of Medicine and College of Nursing students reside at the University of Illinois Chicago.
(Student Self-Service is available for current students and former students who have retained their netID login and password, the Transcripts Unit does not provide former students with this information.)

Current and recent students can access their unofficial transcripts by logging into Student Self-Service, then select Student Services on the myUIconnect page. Once on the Student Services Dashboard, find View Academic History/Unofficial Transcript under Records. Students can use the Print feature to print their unofficial transcript to paper or pdf.
For former students unable to access Student Self-Service, unofficial paper transcripts are only available in-person in the Records Service Center of the Office of the Registrar. The student must present photo identification and must pick up their own transcript. Unofficial transcripts cannot be faxed, mailed, or e-mailed by the office .

Transcripts mailed directly from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are official. Orders addressed to the student will have an outside envelope marked “sealed envelopes enclosed” and contain individually sealed transcripts inside. Each transcript will be stamped “Issued to the Student in a Sealed Envelope” in red ink.
When available, a request may be submitted to delay generating the transcript until after all final grades or degrees for the current semester have been recorded on the transcript. However, if you are expecting a grade change, do not order your transcript until you are sure the grade has been changed and the change is reflected in Student Self-Service. The Registrar will not hold transcripts for maintenance or grade changes.
Transcript orders held for degrees are released approximately four (4) weeks after your conferral date. If the status of your degree in Academic History of Student Self Service indicates that the degree has been Awarded and is no longer Pending prior to the release date listed on the Academic Calendar, you may call the Transcripts Unit at 217-333-9778 and request that the Hold for Degree be removed and your transcript order processed.
Students applying to transfer out of the University to an institution that uses the Common Application, should verify first if the destination institution requires the College Report for transfers. If required, follow the College Report instructions to print and submit the report to the Records Service Center for completion. The report requires coordination with the Dean of Students Office, so allow up to 4 weeks for processing.
