Transcripts

 

General Information

Transcripts are a complete record of all courses and/or degrees completed at California State University Fresno. Transcripts do not include course work completed at other institutions; the transferable units only, are reflected on transcripts under “Transfer Credit”. For students who have both undergraduate and post-baccalaureate course work, please be aware that it is not possible to separate undergraduate course work from the post-baccalaureate course work. Both careers will appear on the transcript, as it is considered one official record.

Transcripts must be requested in person, by mail (student's signature required), or online (for an additional fee). Orders are not accepted by telephone, fax, or email. When ordering transcripts in person, please be sure to bring valid photo ID.

Current processing time is a minimum of 5 business days after the request is opened (Exception: Holidays processing time may exceed more that 5 business days).

PLEASE NOTE: We do not accept requests for unofficial transcripts. Unofficial transcripts can be obtained over your Student Center page on my.csufresno.edu portal (current and newly graduated students only). If you need assistance please contact the University Help Desk at (559) 278-7000.

When Should we process your transcript request?

• Grades: You may submit a transcript request prior to grades posting, just make sure to check the appropriate box of the transcript request form and indicate the semester and year you would like included on your transcripts. We will process your request once the grades have been posted for that term. Please be sure to be as specific as possible, as errors will require a new request form and fee
• Degrees: You may submit a transcript request prior to posting of degrees, just make sure to check the appropriate box of the transcript request form and indicate the degree you want included as well as the semester and year the degree is earned. We will process your request once the degree has been posted. ( Please note that the posting of a degree takes approximately six to eight weeks from grades posting)

Holds

If there is any financial hold or administrative obligation on your student records, it must be cleared with the department that placed the hold before transcripts can be processed. Holds may be placed on your student records by other departments on campus for various reasons (i.e. fees, books, equipment, and documents). Transcript requests and payment that are received by mail will be returned by mail, if there is a hold on record.
