The process for getting your transcript is different depending on whether you want an unofficial transcript or an official transcript. Find out how to get your transcript and what your options are for having it delivered to you.
How to get a copy of your transcript
Get your unofficial transcript
If you’re a current student, you can log into One.IU to view your unofficial transcript at any time.
Your unofficial transcript shows the same information as your official transcript, including information about your degree program GPA. Because each program has its own rules related to degree completion, your program GPA may differ from your IU GPA.
Get your official transcript
We electronically deliver secure, high-quality PDF transcripts upon request. They are considered official documents and are certified by a digital signature and special security characteristics. Each page of the transcript contains the signature of the registrar and the university seal.
Before ordering an official transcript for an IU department, find out if the department requires one. All IU departments have access to your IU record.
How to order your transcript
It’s easy to request a transcript online if:
- You’re a current or recently enrolled student
- You attended IU in 1965 or later
You should order using our online/signature request system instead if:
- You attended IU before 1965
- You have forms or documents that must be attached to your transcript
- You need a transcript faxed to you or to a third party
- You are a high school student enrolled through the Advanced College Project only
- You are requesting a transcript for someone else
- You would prefer not to order online
Delivery options
You have several options for transcript delivery. Note that some records may require a one-time validation before a transcript can be submitted. This can take up to one business day to finalize.
Note that this option is not available for students who last attended IU before 1965.
