Transcripts
How to Order a Transcipt
The Transcript Office for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences is located on the first floor of the Registrar's Office at 20 Garden St., Cambridge. The office is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., excluding holidays. Requests must be made either in writing or in person, not by telephone or e-mail. There is also the option to order your transcript online through the National Student Clearinghouse (see below). All transcripts produced are "official" documents. This means they bear the Registrar's signature and University seal. The normal processing time for transcripts is two to three business days.
Ordering a transcript in person or via writing:
Download form
Once you have downloaded the transcript request form (see link above), fill in all applicable blanks. Print legibly to avoid any errors in processing. Note the five programs on the form and if more than one program applies to you (i.e. college male/female and GSAS or visiting undergrad and special student) you must fill out a SEPARATE form for each program. A transcript will reflect only programs for which courses were taken.
If transcripts are being sent to just ONE location, you may order as many transcripts as you wish on that one form. However, if you need to send transcripts to more than four different locations (4 address areas per form) you will need to fill out additional forms. In these cases indicate page 1 of 2, etc. Include complete addresses for those being sent directly to another location from our office. If the transcripts need to have the registrar's signature on the back flap of the mailing envelope (i.e., signed and sealed) indicate that on your request. Replacements will not be made for failure to include this on your instructions. Requests for transcripts cannot be held for February or June grades until the week of exams.
The first transcript ever ordered is issued without charge. Thereafter, when you request transcripts, the first one is $3 and each additional one is $2 on that same order. Cash or checks made payable to Harvard University are accepted. The transcript cost cannot be charged to your term bill or to a credit card. When you need to order a separate transcript for two (or more) programs, the first transcript for each program is still $3. If you wish transcripts to be mailed out by Federal Express, include a Federal Express account number or credit card number with expiration date for billing. Remember, Federal Express must have a street address; it cannot be sent to a Post Office Box number.
IMPORTANT: Once the form has been printed and completed, SIGN the form at the top of the page and mail it in with your check or money order made out to Harvard University. If you have any questions, call the Registrar's Office at 617-495-1544.

Transcripts can now be ordered online via the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). This is a new service that will allow you to order a transcript and pay for it using a credit card. For every recipient that receives your transcript, there is an additional fee of $2.25 that must be paid to the NSC in addition to the fee paid to the Registrar's Office for the transcript itself. To use this service you should access one of the links above, selecting the correct link depending on whether you have a Harvard PIN. If you do not have a Harvard PIN you will be required to submit a signed consent form to the NSC before your transcript order request can be processed. Authentication with a Harvard PIN will allow you to bypass the signed consent form step.
Once the order is processed by the NSC, notification will be sent to the Registrar's Office. We will process the transcript order based on the options selected.
