Official Transcripts
Prospective and current students should contact Admissions for instructions on submitting transcripts and admission application materials to UT Austin.
An official transcript is a comprehensive record of your academic progress, including transfer courses, credit earned by exam and earned degrees. Your name appears on your official transcript as it appears on your university record. Official transcripts include the university seal and signature of the registrar. Each official transcript costs $20. Transcripts are sent when payment is processed.
Student academic records are classified as confidential and may be released only with the student’s written authorization and signature, in accordance with the Public Information Act and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974.
You may request your official transcript to be issued to you in a sealed envelope; the transcript will be issued in an envelope with the registrar’s signature stamped across the back flap. Or you may request for an open (unsealed) official transcript to be issued to you. Transcripts mailed directly to third parties are considered sealed.
The Office of the Registrar does not fax or scan transcripts into a digital format under any circumstances.
Official transcripts are not issued for students with financial holds. You can check your hold status through What I Owe. For more information on resolving financial holds, see Paying Your Tuition or call Texas One Stop at 512-232-6988.
Distance, Extension, and Correspondence Courses (e.g., OnRamps, Engineer Your World, ChemBridge, etc.)
Please make sure your grades are on your grade report before ordering your transcript.
First, make sure your grades are on your grade report before ordering your transcript. Grades appear on official transcripts once the course is completed and after University Extension reports the grades to the Office of the Registrar.
Order your official transcript online within three years of your course completion date.
Note: The Office of the Registrar does not issue letters of non-attendance. If you need a letter from a program such as OnRamps to verify enrollment or non-attendance at UT Austin, please complete the OnRamps Letter Request Form. For more information, contact OnRamps at enrollment@onramps.zendesk.com or 512-265-2515.
If you are unable to order online, either complete transcript order form 891 or order in person at Texas One Stop.
Third Party Forms / Transcript Matching Forms
If you have a form that needs to be mailed with your transcript, we will only attach forms that (1) were created by the third party and (2) specify that it needs to be sent with the transcript. Order the transcript online or complete our transcript order form.
If ordering a transcript online: Place a transcript order online for a transcript to be mailed and pay through What I Owe. Afterwards, email the third party form to transcriptforms@austin.utexas.edu as an attachment. Your form must be received before 7:30 a.m. CST the following business day after paying online. Include your full name, EID, and online order number or destination address in the email.
If completing transcript order form 891: Submit the third party form AND our transcript order form together via email, fax or mail.
PDF Transcripts
PDF transcripts can only be ordered online. If you are not eligible to order online, a PDF transcript cannot be ordered. Select the “Order Online” tab below for information about eligibility and ordering a PDF transcript.
How to Order an Official Transcript
Order Online - Preferred Method (EID required)
Order a Transcript
Log in with your EID to order an official transcript online or to check order status.
If you are not able to login to the Online Transcript Order System via the link above, please note the following:
- A UT EID and password is required to log into the secure online transcript order system.
- If you did not have a UT EID during the time you attended, one has been assigned to you. Please use the University’s UT EID Self-Service Tools to find your UT EID. If the UT EID Self-Service Tools are not able to locate your UT EID, do not create a UT EID. Contact the UT Service Desk for help.
- If you only completed distance, extension or correspondence courses, refer to the “Distance, Extension, and Correspondence Courses” section on this page.
- If you last enrolled before Fall 1979, you may not be able to order online. Please complete Transcript Order Form 891 to order your transcript.
Delivery Options
- Official transcripts have the following delivery options:
- Mailed: Transcripts ordered and paid online to be mailed leave our office within two (2) business days. It may take longer to mail out transcripts during peak periods; particularly at the beginning and end of semesters. Transcripts are sent by U.S. First Class Standard mail or Foreign Air mail and cannot be tracked. For domestic mail, allow at least two (2) weeks for delivery. For international mail, allow at least four (4) weeks for delivery. If you need to expedite/track a transcript in the mail, see the Expedited Delivery section near the bottom of this page for more information.
- SPEEDE (if presented with this option): An electronic transcript can be sent to certain community colleges, universities, and licensing boards via SPEEDE, a secure electronic server managed by the National Student Clearinghouse. They are sent the next business day after payment is received. To place this order, select “send to another educational institution” on STEP 1. Then select “send to a third party” on STEP 3 and choose from the drop-down menu. If the recipient you are looking for is not listed in the drop-down menu, you will be unable to send an electronic transcript via SPEEDE to that recipient at this time.Note: If the transcript is for the purpose of gaining admission to a graduate program (as opposed to an undergraduate program or a health science center) OR if the transcript is for human resources for the purpose of gaining employment, then this is probably not the ordering option you want to select. You may enter a mailing address below the drop-down menu to have the transcript mailed.This ordering option is not available for students who only completed dual credit/extension/correspondence courses.
- PDF:
- PDF transcripts are emailed via DocuSign the same day after payment is received. The DocuSign email should not be forwarded. The PDF transcript links expire 30 calendar days from the sent date. To place this order, select “send directly to me or to a third party” on STEP 1 and select “Yes” to sending the transcript as a PDF on STEP 2. Complete and continue through remaining prompts.
- Please note, the PDF transcript option is not available for some third party destinations. In this case, the system may prevent you from placing the order. You may contact the Transcript Services Team to discuss alternatives.
- If you order a PDF transcript, the recipient will receive one email from DocuSign containing two transcripts. The two transcripts include one official transcript that cannot be downloaded or printed, and one facsimile—a rendering of the official transcript that can be downloaded and printed. The facsimile will be on a white background with a “facsimile transcript” watermark. The facsimile will not bear the university seal or the signature of the registrar. Verify that these transcripts are acceptable to the recipient before placing an order. If you also want a transcript to be mailed, you will need to place a separate order, provide a complete mailing address and pay an additional $20.
- During the ordering process, you will create a case-sensitive access code that the recipient must use to access the PDF transcript. The access code will be sent to the recipient on your behalf in a separate email.
- PDF transcript orders are not billed to What I Owe. Instead, you will be led to a separate payment system during the ordering process that accepts VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express or eChecks.
- To resume a PDF transcript order, select “send directly to me or to a third party” on STEP 1 of the ordering system. Select yes on STEP 2. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and select the order you previously started.
- There is no option for you to cancel your own PDF transcript order. Orders left unpaid will eventually be systematically canceled.
Paying Online
- If you are eligible to order online, you will be able to pay using your University account, What I Owe. What I Owe accepts the following forms of payment: eCheck, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express. Contact the Student Accounts Receivable office if you need assistance using What I Owe.
- If needing your most recent or final transcript sent immediately, confirm grades on transcript by checking your grade report and verify degree is posted before paying.
- Review your order carefully before paying online. Once an order is paid, the order cannot be revised or canceled; refund requests may not be accepted.
- Confirmed online orders left unpaid will eventually be systematically cancelled.
- To prevent online ordering errors, do not click the browser’s “back” button at any time during order placement.
- Transcripts sent to incomplete addresses provided online may cause delivery delays or returns by U.S. Postal Service. Address errors may require a new order with payment if the transcript is not received.
Cancelling an online order
Unpaid transcripts orders to be mailed or sent electronically via SPEEDE can be canceled. To cancel an order, click on “Cancel Unpaid Orders” under the menu on the left side of the screen. You must be in the transcript order system to see this option. You will not see the “Cancel Unpaid Orders” option if you are in What I Owe.

If an apostille is needed, visit the Texas Secretary of State website for instructions on how to obtain that authentication. Before requesting an apostille from the Texas Secretary of State your documents must be notarized. Our office is able to assist with the notarization.

Hold for Grades and Degrees
If currently enrolled at UT Austin, you may request your official transcript to be held until the current semester posting date for grades and degrees. Please note the following:
- Grades can appear on the transcript early but they will not be calculated in the GPA until the current semester grade posting date. Check your grade report to confirm grades are on the transcript.
- Future course enrollment for the following semester will not show on a Hold for Grade or Hold for Degree transcript.
- Summer sessions are combined as a whole semester. Although grades posted during the sessions will appear on your transcript, they will not be calculated in the GPA until August.
- Spring and summer degrees typically post two weeks after grades post at the end of semesters; fall degrees post one week after the University reopens from the winter break in January.
- If ordering online, Hold for Grades and Hold for Degree orders that are started before the current semester posting date must be paid before that posting date to prevent the order from being held until the end of the following semester.
- If you place a Hold for Grades and Hold for Degree order and incur a financial hold prior to the posting date, the transcript will not be processed and you will be contacted.
- Hold for Grades orders cannot be placed for dual credit/extension/correspondence courses because grade posting dates vary. Check your grade report on the Texas One Stop website and make sure grades are there before ordering a transcript.
- Law students should not place a Hold for Grades and Hold for Degree transcript order due to the School of Law’s timeline for releasing final grades. Before requesting a transcript or confirmation of degree, law students should check the online grade report and/or verify degree on the Texas One Stop website to ensure final grades and/or the degree has been posted.

Fall 2023 – Hold for Grades orders will be processed after 5:00 p.m. CST on December 14, 2023. Paper transcripts will be mailed within 3 business days of the processed date.
