Transcripts

Official transcripts are $8.00 per copy. Please allow five business days for processing per request and ten business days for delivery via USPS.

UGA has partnered with Parchment to securely provide official transcripts to current and former students. Starting January 6, 2025, Parchment will apply a sales tax to some orders based on factors such as document type, delivery method, or location. A breakdown of all charges and any applicable taxes will be provided before you submit your order.

UGA students are able to request an official transcript that includes credits, degrees, and certificates awarded at all levels (undergraduate, graduate, professional). Transcripts cannot be requested by level.

The Office of the Registrar does not accept faxed or emailed transcript requests.

For questions regarding incoming transcripts from another institution, please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at 706-542-8776 or the Graduate School Admissions Office at 706-542-1739.
