Requesting Transcripts
Transcripts may be ordered in the following ways:
-
ONLINE at the National Student Clearinghouse using a credit card. Delivery options are send “Now,” “After Degree is Awarded,” or “After Grades are Posted.” The cost for an electronic transcript is $6.75 per transcript or $5 per transcript for United States Postal Service delivery. Electronic transcripts can only be requested through the National Student Clearinghouse.
-
IN PERSON at the Business Office. Requests submitted in person are processed for pickup immediately. Students must submit a completed Transcript Request Form and payment by cash, check or money order in the amount of $5. Transcripts requested in person are only available for pick-up. Requests to have transcripts mailed are only available through the online service.
A transcript will not be issued when the student is delinquent in payment of tuition or fees, has not returned library books, or when there are other unfulfilled obligations to the university. Students will be given 30 days after a transcript request has been made to clear any outstanding balance with the Business Office. After 30 days, it will be the student’s responsibility to submit a new request for transcript.
Official transcripts are sent directly to a college, employer or other agency and bear the university seal. Student copies may be sent directly to the student and are identified as such. The fee for either type of transcript is the same.
In accordance with federal law (The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act), student transcripts are issued only at the written request of a student. A transcript will not be released without the student’s signature appearing on the request. Transcript requests are not accepted by telephone.
A transcript is a picture of the student’s complete record at Lindenwood University. Partial transcripts are not issued. Transcripts of work completed at other colleges must be obtained directly from those institutions.
Note: All information in each student’s university record is considered confidential and is issued only to authorized individuals.
