Need Your Student ID?
You will be asked for your PID (student ID) when placing your transcript order. If you do not know your student ID, visit the UNC PID Office search engine.
Which transcript fits your needs? First, learn about the two options:
Official Transcripts: They are used for formal purposes, such as applying to other institutions, jobs, or scholarships. Official transcripts are sent directly to the requesting party to maintain their integrity. These are official documents issued by Parchment on behalf of UNC-Chapel Hill and are sealed to verify their authenticity.
Unofficial Transcripts: While they contain the same academic information as official transcripts, they lack the official seal, signature, or certification and are used mainly for personal reference or informal purposes. These are accessible to students through their ConnectCarolina portal and can be printed or viewed at any time.
You will be asked for your PID (student ID) when placing your transcript order. If you do not know your student ID, visit the UNC PID Office search engine.
All official transcript orders are processed through Parchment. Select from the list below to see ordering instructions based on your student status.
Note: If you are ordering your official transcript at or near the completion of a course or courses, please wait to order until final grades are reported or choose the “Hold for Grades” option when placing.

Your unofficial or "internal" transcript is accessible through your ConnectCarolina Student Center. Select from the list below to see ordering instructions based on your student status.
If you have any questions about this, feel free to contact us at registrar@registrar.unc.edu.
As an alumnus, alumna, or former student, you can access an unofficial transcript through the ConnectCarolina Student Center. Unofficial transcripts are printable and can also be saved as a PDF (please see step 9 below). In order to access the Student Center, you will have to create a Guest ID. (Or, if you already have a Guest ID, proceed to step 2)

If you have enrollment prior to Fall 2010 and have not obtained a transcript from us since then, your record will likely need to be validated before your transcript can be released. This means you will not be able to view your unofficial transcript in ConnectCarolina or have an official transcript order processed until validation is cleared within 3 business days. This is a one-time process that will not impact transcript access in the future once complete.
If you attempt to access your internal transcript, you will receive an error message saying “Report not created. Negative service indicator exists.” If you place an official transcript order you will be notified of a hold on your record requiring validation. When you receive these messages, it means the system has logged your attempt to obtain your transcript and your records have been put into our validation queue. No further action is required as our validation team handles the rest!
