FAQs - Transcripts

How do I request a transcript?

 

If you are a current student or attended 2005 to present and remember your OPUS ID and Password, you can order your transcript through OPUS at http://www.opus.emory.edu.  If you do not remember your ID and password contact OPUSHELP@listserv.cc.emory.edu to have your information reset.

 

If you are not a current student and last attended prior to 2005, you must submit your request in writing.  A transcript request form is available from the Registrar website at http://www.registrar.emory.edu that can be downloaded and printed.  The written request must include the student's name at the time of attendance, Campus ID number or social security number, signature, the transcript recipient's name and address, and payment. Prepayment is required.  Mail your request to:

 

Emory University
Office of the Registrar
200 Dowman Drive,
100 B Jones Center
Atlanta, GA  30322


Note:  Transcripts will not process until payment is received.

 

Is there a fee for transcripts?


Yes.


Unofficial transcript (mailed directly or issued to the student) $4.00 USD;
Official transcript (mailed directly to anyone other than the student) $4.00 USD;
Official transcript issued to student (mailed or issued to student) $8.00 USD.

 

Why does it cost more to send an official transcript to myself rather than directly to a third party?


Official transcripts issued to students require an additional seal, stamp, and envelope to ensure the authenticity of the transcript.


Does the Registrar's Office take credit cards?



If ordering through OPUS, we accept Visa or MasterCard.
At this time the Registrar’s Office does not have the means to accept credit cards if paying in person or through the mail. Cash, check, money orders, or your Emorycard (used as a debit card) are accepted.


How long does it take to process my transcript request?

 

For written requests, or that are received by mail, normal processing time is two to four business days after your order is received in our office. If ordered by the student through OPUS and paid for online or in person at the Registrar’s Office, transcripts not being held for grades are available for pickup after noon the following day.


Note:  Transcripts will not process until payment is received.

 

I have a document that needs to be included with my transcript.  What do I need to do?

 

Transcript requests placed through OPUS:


After ordering and paying for your transcript through OPUS, submit attachments to the Registrar’s Office via email at registr@emory.edu. This must be done immediately in order for the attachment to be included with your transcript since requests placed through OPUS are processed and mailed the following business day.  If you do not have the means to submit documents electronically, call the Registrar’s Office at 404-727-6042 to work out an alternate method.

 

Transcript requests placed in writing:

 

Mail the attachment along with your request and payment to the Registrar’s Office.

Note:  Sending in an attachment alone does not constitute a transcript request.  You must officially place your transcript request through OPUS or in writing in order for us to process your request.  Attachments received without a complete transcript request will not be processed.

 

If I attended more than one school at Emory University, can I get a transcript of my course work for only one of the schools?

 

Transcripts include all work completed at Emory University. Under no circumstances is a partial transcript issued. Currently enrolled students should go to the Registrar's Office 100 Boisfeuillet Jones Center to request and pay for a transcript.

 

Can I fax a transcript request to the Registrar's Office? Can my transcript be faxed to me or a third party?



For your protection, the Registrar's Office does not conduct business via fax.

 

My grades aren’t showing on my transcript?

 

Grades do not appear until they are entered into OPUS.  Contact the Professor or Department Secretary to find out when your grades will be entered.  Once they are entered into the system, your grades will appear on your transcript.

 

If I request “Hold for Grades” on my transcript, what does this mean?

 

This means that your transcript will not print until all the grades have been posted to your transcript. Select the term code you wish to have the grades held for located on the on-line order page. This selection is also used if you are graduating. See the next question if you are graduating at the end of the semester.

 

What if I am graduating this term? When will my degree show up on my transcript?

 

Degree and honors are not posted to the transcript until the School certifies its graduate candidates list. This happens 7-25 days after commencement. If you are graduating and need a transcript with your degree on it, select “Hold for Grades” option when ordering the transcript and enter the term code. Your transcript will print when all the grades are posted and the degree is certified. Please contact your School to see when degrees will be certified.

 

The grades and/or classes on my transcript are incorrect, how do I have this information corrected.

 

Contact the appropriate school.  The professor or departmental secretary will submit the appropriate forms needed to the Registrar’s Office.

 

My former name is showing on my transcript, and I want my current name to show instead.  How do I change this information?

 

Name changes should be directed to the Office of the Registrar and will only be recorded when there is sufficient evidence supporting the name change. Students must provide one of the following showing the changed name: (1) Marriage license, (2) Court order, or (3) Driver's license plus one of the following: social security card, credit card, or blank check showing name and address.

 

How can my parents get a copy of my grades?


Parents may view students' grades via Guest Access through OPUS. With Guest Access a student may authorize up to five guests access to OPUS pages they have selected for them. Academic options available for guests are class schedule, grades and GPAs, unofficial transcript, degree progress, and a final exam schedule.

 

 

Can I fax a transcript request to the Registrar’s Office? Can my transcript be faxed to me or a third party?

 

We will not accept a fax request for transcripts. For your protection, we will not fax a transcript to you or a third party.
