TRANSCRIPT REQUESTS

Request your transcript in the Guidance Office

1. When you request your transcript to be sent to a STATE OF FLORIDA PUBLIC COLLEGE or UNIVERSITY:

  • Guidance sends it electronically at no cost to you.

  • The college processes this information – which can TAKE UP TO 3-4 WEEKS from the date you request it.

  • The college will post it on your status screen (be patient if it doesn’t show on your status screen immediately).

  • If your transcript does not appear on your screen after a few weeks, you may then contact the college to inquire about your transcript.

2. When you request a transcript for ANY OTHER COLLEGE or UNIVERSITY, you must:

  • Request (from Guidance) the number of transcripts you need.

  • Pick them up from Guidance (the first three transcripts are FREE, each additional transcript requested is $5.00).

  • Personally mail them off.
