How to Order Official Transcripts:

Options: 

Online - Former and current University of Iowa students may request their transcripts through ISIS using their HawkID and password.  The charges are applied to your U-bill.  If you have problems with your HawkID or password, contact ITS at (319)384-4357. If you last attended prior to 2003, contact the Registrar's Service Center at (319)384-4300 to set up an alumni account.
Former and current students may also use ISIS to "link" to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to order official transcripts and use a credit card for payment at the time of ordering.  There is an additional fee when using NSC.

In Person - Transcript orders may be placed in person at 17 Calvin Hall. A photo ID is required if obtaining the transcript in person. If you would like your transcript mailed by the Registrar's Office, you are responsible for providing the addresses to which you would like them mailed.

Official Transcripts

An official transcript is a certified record of the academic work done at the University of Iowa. It includes classes taken, hours earned, grades received and degrees conferred. Many colleges require that transcripts sent to the student be in a sealed envelope. "Signature over flap" or "Sealed" means we stamp a signature on the back of the envelope to show the final recipient of the envelope that it has not been opened and the document inside has not been tampered. It typically is needed when turning in a packet of documents to another educational institution by the student him/herself.  If you need to have your transcript sent to you in this manner, please indicate this at the time of your request.
Official transcripts from the University of Iowa are not sent in a sealed envelope unless so requested.

Transcript Key

The transcript key includes the policies and regulations governing official records, department and course numbering, as well as the grading system and symbols explanation.

Unofficial Transcripts

The Registrar's Office does not provide unofficial transcripts. If you are a current student you may obtain a grade report on ISIS. Grade reports are rarely accepted by prospective employers or other schools in place of official transcripts.

Costs

Charges are automatically billed through the University Billing Office.
