Transcripts for Former Students (Paper Delivery)
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 2-5 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.
The Office of the Registrar, in partnership with SCRIP-SAFE® International, is pleased to offer electronic delivery of transcripts in PDF format through eSCRIP-SAFE®.
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 $8 each.
Express delivery is available for an additional fee (see Special Shipping).
Delivery Times
Please allow 7–10 days for delivery to and processing by receiving party for domestic addresses. For international addresses please use the FedEx expedited shipping option for guaranteed delivery. Regular mail delivery to international addresses cannot be tracked and therefore is not guaranteed.
Special Handling Services
Sealed Envelopes
Transcripts mailed directly from the University of Illinois at 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.
Orders for Multiple Transcripts
Orders placed for 10 or more paper transcripts to a single address must be delivered using express delivery to provide for tracking.
Special Shipping
Electronic delivery is the fastest and most inexpensive way to send official transcripts!
Transcripts are processed within 2-5 business days of our receiving a correctly completed order. Electronic transcripts will be delivered within one business day of the order being processed. If a paper copy is required, for faster delivery, transcripts may be sent by express delivery. Options are standard overnight domestic delivery or international delivery. The additional fee will be charged to your credit card at a rate of $14.00 or $40.00, respectively. Requests for express shipping must be received by 11:00 a.m. CST for same day processing.
Note: Express packages cannot be delivered to a post office box.
