San Diego State University Registrar Transcripts
What are Official Transcripts?
Official transcripts are documents that contain your coursework and grades taken at SDSU, including Open University and any extension-credit courses taken through SDSU Global Campus. They also show your degree(s) awarded, honors received, and academic standing. Official transcripts are printed on official transcript paper, bear the University Seal and include the University Registrar's signature. They are considered official only when they are sent directly to the intended recipient by SDSU or its authorized partner, Parchment, Inc.
How to Order Electronic Transcripts?
Electronic transcripts are official PDF documents that are delivered securely and certified by SDSU with a digital signature. They can be ordered online through Parchment, Inc., which is a third-party service provider that SDSU has partnered with. To order electronic transcripts, you need to follow these steps:
Go to the [Transcripts page] on the SDSU website and click on the "Order Transcripts" button.
Create an account or sign in to your existing account on Parchment, Inc.
Select the type of transcript you want (undergraduate or graduate) and the delivery method (electronic).
Enter the recipient's name and email address, or select from a list of common destinations.
Review your order details and pay the transcript fee ($7 per transcript).
Track your order status and delivery confirmation on Parchment, Inc.
Electronic transcripts are processed and emailed to the requested recipient within the same day of order. They can be viewed using Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader version 6.0 or greater, which will show a blue ribbon and declare that the document was certified by SDSU with a valid certificate issued by GeoTrust CA for Adobe. You can also authenticate the PDF transcript by selecting the Signature Properties of the document.
How to Order Paper Transcripts?
Paper transcripts are official documents that are mailed to the requested recipient in a sealed envelope. They can also be ordered online through Parchment, Inc., following the same steps as above, except choosing the delivery method (paper) and entering the recipient's mailing address. You can also choose from different mailing options, such as Standard USPS, USPS International, FedEx Domestic U.S., or FedEx International. The transcript fee varies depending on the mailing option ($7 + $2.50 for Standard USPS, $7 + $5.25 for USPS International, $7 + $30 for FedEx Domestic U.S., or $7 + $55 for FedEx International). Paper transcripts are mailed within 1 business day of ordering.
