Transcript Requests
Beginning this fall, we will no longer accept transcript requests received via fax or mail. All requests must be submitted online using TranscriptsPlus.
Official transcripts contain a record of all courses, grades and degrees from the University at Albany. In addition, credit hours accepted from other institutions will be listed as the total hours accepted and the name of the institution. Transcripts submitted to the University at Albany from other institutions for admission or credit, become the property of the University at Albany, and cannot be returned to the student or forwarded to other institutions. A transcript may be sent only at the request of the student for his or her own academic record.
TRANSCRIPTS CANNOT BE ISSUED FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE A HOLD ON THEIR RECORDS.
Transcripts can be requested online or in-person. Please select from one of the following tabs:

Authorization Process:
In lieu of submitting a signed authorization form online orders go through an authorization process referred to as “Automatic Authorization” To qualify, your order must meet the following criteria:
- Name as it appears on University at Albany records, and
- The date of birth, and social security number OR student identification number exactly match the information on University at Albany records, and
- You do not have any attachments that need to accompany your transcript order.
If your order is not eligible for “Automatic Authorization”, a form will be sent to you via e-mail (or fax if you selected that option). Print, sign, and fax or mail that form (along with any attachments if applicable) as detailed on that form. Your order will be processed upon receipt of the signed form.
Holds and form of Payment:
- There is a $10.00 fee for each copy of your official transcript.
