Transcripts

The Office of the University Registrar provides official grade transcripts bearing the Cornell University seal and the signature of the University Registrar. The University maintains a single transcript for all students reflecting all courses taken at Cornell, including summer, extramural, undergraduate and graduate courses.

Order Transcripts On-line

To order transcripts on-line:

1. You need a NetID* and password.
2. You must have attended Cornell since 1982**.
3. You must provide an address or we cannot complete your order.

• If you check the Send to My Address box, wait for the Address Type drop down to appear, then choose an Address Type. That will fill in your address automatically.
• If you want your transcript sent somewhere else, fill in the Send To field and then click on Edit Address to add the address.

NOTE: Orders for multiple copies to one address will be in one envelope; all but one copy will be in individually sealed envelopes. If you need to forward transcripts in individually sealed envelopes please order one more copy than the number that need to be sent.

*If you don't have a NetID, go to: http://www.cit.cornell.edu/servicelist/netids/netid.html.

**If you last attended Cornell prior to 1982, your records may not be available electronically; you need to order via mail, fax, or in person.
