University of Georgia has partnered with Parchment to order and send transcripts and other credentials securely. Current and former UGA students can order official transcripts online.
Official transcripts are $8.00 each. Transcripts will not be issued for students who have an outstanding balance or unfulfilled obligation to the University. Five business days is the processing time per request. Please allow 10 business days for delivery via USPS.
Starting January 6, 2025, Parchment will collect sales tax on certain document requests in compliance with federal, state, and local tax laws. This change may affect the total cost of your request based on various factors such as document type, delivery method, and location. Before completing your order, you will see a breakdown of all charges including any applicable taxes to ensure total transparency.
Unofficial transcripts are available to current, active UGA students via the Athena student portal. Unofficial transcripts can be viewed by former students by reactivating their student account at UGA. To reactivate a student account, please contact the EITS Help Desk at 706-542-3106.
