Common transcript order questions

I attended Temple University before 1990. Will this cause a delay?

For most students there will not be a delay in processing and sending the transcript. However, some students may experience a delay if we have to combine our current student information system records with our pre-computer archived records.

I attended a professional school at Temple University. Will this cause a delay?

While the Office of the University Registrar has most professional school records in our current student information system, some records exists in our pre-computer archive. If you are impacted by having records in our archive, you will be notified.

We suggest you coordinate sending supplemental documents with the recipient. Office of the University Registrar does not send attachments or supplemental documents with an official transcript.

I am professional school student and need to send my transcript for licensure.  What is the best way to send my transcript?

The best way to send your transcript is to use the In-Network feature. If the agency is not listed in the In-Network list, contact the agency for electronic transcript recipient email address.

Transcript orders with on-hold status means that the Office of the University Registrar has to take some action to complete the order. Some students may experience delays if the academic record does not exist in our current student information system.
