Ordering a Transcript:

Official Transcripts are available for $15.00 each, effective January 1, 2009*, and may be ordered with the following delivery options:

* When ordered using GOLD, charges are posted to BARC on date printed.

Regular Mail Service: $15

Included in the $15.00 fee per transcript, a printed official transcript will be sent by regular mail service to the recipient and address indicated in the order. Please allow 3-5 business days to process your request prior to actual shipping. Additional copies may be ordered for $15.00 each, sent to the same address.

Next Day Pick-Up Service: $25

For an additional $10.00 in addition to the $15.00 per transcript fee, our office will process an official transcript to be picked-up by the student at the Registrar’s Office. Orders must be received by 7:00 p.m Pacific time in GOLD or through Credentials Solutions, our third-party credit card vendor, for the printed official transcript to be available for next day pick-up. If your order is processed manually from a paper request form, it may take an additional day to print your transcript.
