Special Announcement: We are currently experiencing a high volume of transcript requests.
Due to the high volume of transcript requests at this time, please allow two weeks for processing before contacting the Office of the Registrar to check on the status of your request. During this high volume time processing may take up to four weeks.
All transcript requests are processed in the order in which they are received.
Requesting Your SUNY Empire State College Transcript
An official SUNY Empire State College transcript can only be issued at the request of the student/alumni. Transcripts cannot be issued for students/alumni who have holds on their records.
SUNY Empire State College Official Transcripts may be ordered online. Official transcripts may also be ordered by US mail or in person.
Note: At this time, we do not provide unofficial transcripts. The Office of the Registrar recommends that official transcripts be requested. The student/alumnus in receipt of a transcript may choose to copy the document(s) for their own purposes. Once the seal on the official transcript is broken most agencies will deem the document unofficial. Students/alumni can then make copies or scan to their computer as necessary.
