The Office of the University Registrar will provide an official transcript of a student's academic record issued directly to the student or to a third party provided the student has given proper authorization to the Registrar’s Office.
Transcripts can be ordered online by current students and alumni of the university. Online transcript ordering is convenient, can be done from any location 24/7, and provides emails to inform students/alumni on the status of their request.
The fee for an official transcript is $9.25 ($7.00 for the transcript and an additional $2.25 processing fee which goes to the NSC). Payment information is submitted through the online request. Charges are not applied to the credit card until the transcript is sent.
FedEx delivery is an additional $15 per domestic location or $30 per international location.
Official transcripts are printed on University transcript paper and include the Registrar’s signature and University Seal. Official transcripts issued directly to students/alumni are in a sealed envelope with the Registrar’s signature across the back flap. See the How To Order a Transcript section for instructions on ordering an official transcript.
For information on ordering unofficial transcripts, see the How To Order a Transcript section.
If picking up the transcript order in person, a student must show photo identification upon receipt.
Important: If anyone other than the student will be picking up the transcript(s), authorization must come to the Registrar’s office from the student prior to pickup in one of three forms listed below, and individual must show photo identification upon receipt:
An instruction on the transcript request to authorize the individual to pick up the transcript
An email using the student’s UNC email address and sent to transcript@unc.edu
A faxed request that includes the student’s PID and signature and sent to 919-962-3349
Students who pay expedited charges are selecting Federal Express delivery rather than US Postal Service delivery. For orders that have been submitted to be sent via Federal Express paying for expedited delivery will not guarantee faster processing of the request, but we will make every effort to process these orders in 3-4 days.
Note: The Office of the University Registrar will not process any transcript requests from students who have an outstanding balance or unfulfilled obligation to the University.
Note: The Office of the University Registrar does not offer electronic transcripts at this time.
