A student's signature is required each time a transcript is requested. The request must be in writing (download request form) and may be sent by fax or by mail or requested in person. Any transcript issued directly to the student will be stamped "issued to student" and will be considered unofficial.

Official transcripts are marked with the official seal of the University and are mailed directly by the Registrar's Office to prospective employers, to official representatives of other universities, to certification agencies, etc. The request must include the following:

1. Student's name as it was during attendance at VU
2. Student's social security number or ID number
3. Approximate dates of attendance
4. Address where transcript is to be mailed
5. Student's signature

There is no charge for a transcript, however, students must have met all financial obligations to the University before transcripts will be released.

Unofficial Transcripts

Current students may view and print an unofficial transcript by going into the School Services tab on Pipeline and clicking Administrative Services, then Student Services & Financial Aid, then Institutional Transcript. This option is also available to those who were students as of March 2000.
