There are two types of transcripts: official and unofficial.

All unofficial transcripts are free and are stamped "Unofficial transcript. Issued to Student." If you stop by the Registrar's office we will print one for you immediately. Most employment and graduate school situations require an official transcript.

Official transcripts are sealed in an envelope and mailed to the designated receiver. Or you may pick them up and mail them out yourself if you are in the neighborhood of the Registrar's office.

Simpson College is NOT able to FAX or EMAIL Official Transcripts.  However, we can fax UNOFFICIAL transcripts.

Official transcripts are needed for job-applications, graduate school applications, or transferring to another college/university.

Unoffical transcripts can be used if you just want information on your academic records, or if you have been told that an unofficial transcript is acceptable

The cost of each and every official transcript is $5.00.

We must have written authorization (your signature) to release any transcript.
