Transcripts

All requests for an official transcript from Danforth (Hilltop) Campus students need to be submitted online.  Students who attended the WU School of Medicine need to request transcripts through the Registrar's Office at the Medical School.  NOTE:  Medical School students who need a transcript showing only their undergraduate, PhD, or other Danforth Campus coursework and degrees can request those transcripts online below using  the second web link (these orders cannot be submitted through WebSTAC).


All Washington University students may obtain and print at no cost an Unofficial Transcript report from WebSTAC.  If you are a former student and/or do not know how to log into WebSTAC to see your records, contact our office at 314-935-5959 for assistance in creating or resetting your WUSTL Key ID and Password


Current and former students who know their WUSTL Key can also order official transcripts and track the status of their requests from WebSTAC. All other individuals may place a transcript order here.  PLEASE NOTE: placing a transcript order from this web site requires the student to submit a signed Consent Form (see online instructions when placing your order). The Consent Form is not required if your order is placed through WebSTAC.


On all transcript orders, the Office of the University Registrar will notify the student by email when the requested transcript has been processed.  Transcript requests are generally processed overnight and issued the next business day.


There is a $5 fee per transcript, payable upon submission of your order.

What appears on your transcript


Your academic transcript is an official document that carries the University seal and the signature of the University Registrar. It is printed on security safe paper, which when photocopied will reveal the word copy throughout.


Degrees


Degrees awarded by Washington University will appear on your transcript with the conferral date, as well as second majors, minors, and certificates which have been completed.


Coursework


Your transcript is one integral record and contains all of the Washington University coursework for which you registered or received credit. It will contain semester by semester entries of courses, starting with the earliest semester and progressing to the most recent. The last entry on your transcript will be followed by a line and marker indication stating that there are "No entries below this line".


Credit Hours and Grades


Your transcript will show the number of credit hours for each course and the final grade received. The reverse side of your transcript contains a 'key', providing information on grade interpretation and the GPA scales we use for a particular school or division.



Issuing of Transcripts


The name of the recipient will appear on the transcript document itself. If the transcript is given to the student, it will also be stamped "ISSUED TO THE STUDENT".



Grade and Degree Posting


Degrees are posted to your permanent record once the dean of your school and the Board of Trustees have approved the conferral of degree. Since Washington University confers degrees three (3) times during an academic year--August, December, and May--there are different times for finalizing degrees all dependent upon the degree month during which you are conferred.


The following are APPROXIMATE finalization dates for each of the degree conferral periods: 



  • August: Degrees are finalized in early October and posted to your transcript with the August conferral date.

  • December: Degrees are finalized and posted in late-January with the December conferral date.

  • May: Degrees are finalized and posted on the May Commencement
