How do I request a transcript?
To be in compliance with privacy laws designated by FERPA, transcripts can be ordered only in writing or through your PROWL account:
- For instructions on opening your PROWL account go to How to Access Prowl below. Once you get into your account, go to view unofficial transcript first, to make sure the grades you are interested in transcripting have been posted. Then go back a page to order official transcript and complete the information requested. Your transcript will be sent in approximately two business days. There is no fee.
- You may instead download and print a Transcript Request Form. Follow the instructions provided to mail or fax the form. This option may take up to two weeks to process. There is no fee.
- If you are a local student and are in a hurry, you may come to the Registrar’s Office in St. Robert’s Hall and ask for a Transcript to be prepared while you wait for a $10.00 fee.
