A transcript is an official copy of a student's permanent academic record. Official transcripts are available from the University Registrar's Office. Each transcript costs $3.00. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 requires that all transcript requests be in writing and be signed and dated by the person to whom the academic record belongs. Note: University policy prohibits issuing transcripts to any student with any financial or other unmet obligations to the University.
Because a transcript contains confidential information, it cannot be released to anyone without a written request from the student, including the student's signature. Any individual acting on behalf of the student with regard to requesting a transcript must have written authorization from the student.
To request your transcript, please print and complete the Transcript Request Form (below) and
The processing fee for official transcripts is $3 per copy. Checks and money orders can be made out to Washburn University.
Requests received by mail, email, or fax will be processed within 3 days of receipt. Requests are processed in the order in which they are received. A faxed or emailed transcript request is not given priority over a mailed request. At the counter, staff will generally process your request as you wait; however, we converted our records to a new system in 2004, so transcripts for students who attended before that point and have not requested a transcript since then will be available 24 hours after the request is made.
If you cannot access the form, you may write out your request. Please include the following information, printed clearly (where applicable):
Note: We will not process your transcript request without your signature or payment.
Requests without payment will be returned without processing.
