  • Holds - Make sure that you have no outstanding financial obligations to the university. If your academic record has a financial hold, transcript requests will not be processed. Transcripts are automatically released within 5 minutes of resolving your hold.
  • Requests to hold your transcript request until after final grades/degree is posted - Final grades are posted on transcripts about 1 week after a term ends. Degrees are posted about one month after a term ends.  Please be sure to indicate on the request if you would like your transcript held for final grades or the degree to be posted.
