Transcripts

With proper identification, a student may purchase an official transcript for $10 a copy in person; by mail, e-mail, or fax; or online. The transcript includes only the academic record accumulated at the University of Texas at Austin. Unofficial copies of transcripts from other institutions are furnished by the registrar in accordance with the Texas Open Records Act, for a fee of $10. A transcript is a comprehensive record of an individual’s academic progress at the University; it contains all the significant facts about a student’s admission, academic level, and scholarship. The contents of an official transcript are listed in 9–400 of the Institutional Rules . No partial or incomplete record (such as a record with grades of F omitted) will be issued. A student who owes a debt to the University may be unable to obtain an official transcript until the debt is paid. Additional information about requesting a transcript is published by the registrar’s office at http://registrar.utexas.edu/transcripts/ .

Texas law provides criminal penalties for forgery of a transcript or similar document.

The registrar’s office also provides official certifications to students and others for health insurance, loan deferment, and other reasons. A $5 charge is assessed for on-demand emergency certifications.
