Transcripts

Current and former Danforth Campus students must request transcripts online. Students who know their WUSTL Key can order through WebSTAC. Students who do not know their WUSTL Key, please scroll down to the option ‘Ordering Without A WUSTL Key’.

There is a $5 fee per transcript, payable online using a credit card or through Student Billing for current students (current students must be more than 30 days from graduation). We are unable to take any payment over the phone.

Transcript requests are generally processed and issued the next business day. On all printed transcript orders, the Office of the University Registrar will notify the student by email when the requested transcript has been processed. Students ordering electronic transcripts will be notified by eScrip-Safe.

Please note that the Office of the University Registrar does not accept transcripts from other institutions. Coursework that is transferring from other institutions needs to be sent directly to your school’s academic office.

Need to reprint your consent form?

Unofficial transcripts are available for those that attended after 1978 through WebSTAC. The Office of the University Registrar does not send unofficial transcripts.

The School of Medicine registrar accepts requests for transcripts and certification records for students and alumni of: Audiology and Communication Sciences, Clinical Investigation, Genetic Epidemiology, Health Administration, Nurse Anesthesia, Occupational Therapy, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, Physical Therapy, Psychiatric Epidemiology, School of Dentistry and School of Medicine.

Using your WUSTL Key

Current and former students who need help with their WUSTL Key for WebSTAC access can utilize the WUSTL Key self-service tools for assistance. Please note that if you attended prior to 1978, you will need to use the option for those without a WUSTL Key. The student is not required to submit a signed consent form when a transcript order is placed through WebSTAC. Students are encouraged to review their academic record at WebSTAC before requesting an official transcript, particularly when final grades are being posted; an unofficial transcript report is available in WebSTAC for this purpose. Please contact the Help Desk at 314-935-5707 if you need further assistance with your WUSTL Key.

Ordering Without a WUSTL Key

Former students who do not have a WUSTL Key order an official transcript online. Placing a transcript order from this website requires the student to submit a signed consent form – refer to the online instructions when placing your order. You may also track an order previously placed from this website (not from WebSTAC).

Please note: Students who have a WUSTL Key but do not remember their login credentials may use the WUSTL Key and Password recovery features found on the WebSTAC Support page to avoid submitting the consent form.

Current Medical School Students/Alumni With Danforth Campus Coursework

Current Washington University in St. Louis Medical School students and alumni with Danforth Campus coursework can order an official transcript online. Please make sure you are not logged into WebSTAC.

Transcript Processing and Delivery

Transcript requests are generally processed and issued the next business day. On all transcript orders, the Office of the University Registrar will notify the student by email when the requested transcript has been processed; please be sure to provide a current email address with your order. When placing an order for transcripts, you can indicate whether you want to pick up your transcript in person from our office or have it sent directly to the recipient, in which case also be sure to include a complete postal address or indicate the electronic recipient when placing your order.

Ship Transcripts With Tracking

Transcripts are sent using the United States Postal Service (USPS) First Class Mail, which does not provide a tracking number to monitor the status of the delivery.

These instructions are effective for orders beginning on October 28, 2019. Adjustments will be made to the online ordering system soon.

For students who wish to mail a transcript with tracking, Washington University in St. Louis has partnered with eshipGlobal to assist students using FedEx, DHL, or UPS.

The electronic delivery of Washington University transcripts is now available and may be selected as a delivery option when placing your transcript order. Electronic delivery of transcripts is through eScrip-Safe. Both the sender (student) and recipient of the transcript(s) will receive emails from eScrip-Safe (not Washington University in St. Louis) regarding the transmission of the transcript. Check junk/spam folders if an email has not been received after two business days. Please verify that the recipient information you provide is correct before finalizing the order. Once sent, mistakes cannot be corrected and students will have to place a new order.

Please note: Electronic transcripts are delivered to the requested recipient as a PDF document which the recipient will be required to download.

Forms and Attachments

If you have forms or other documents that must be attached to your transcript, place your transcript order online and send the forms to the Office of the University Registrar by fax to (314) 935-4268, email (registrar@wustl.edu), postal mail or drop the form(s) off in person. Please note we cannot include applications, resumes, or letters of recommendation. You will not be able to attach documents and forms to the online order itself, however, when placing your order please check the box indicating that you will provide extra documents to be sent with your transcript. Note any special instructions as needed.

Transcript Contents

Your academic transcript is an official document that carries the institutional seal of Washington University in St. Louis and bears the signature of the university registrar. It is printed on security safe paper, which when photocopied will reveal the word “copy” throughout.

Degrees: Degrees awarded by Washington University will appear on your transcript with the conferral date as well as second majors, minors and certificates that have been completed. May degrees are posted on the official date of conferral. August and December degrees are posted retroactively, after the schools have certified degree eligibility and the Board of Trustees has approved the final degree list. Generally speaking, transcripts show August degrees in early October and December degrees in late January. Although August and December degrees are posted after the fact, the transcript will reflect the official conferral date. If necessary, students may contact their dean’s office to obtain official verification of degree or program completion before a degree appears on their transcript.

Coursework: Your transcript is one integral record and contains all of the Washington University coursework for which you registered or received credit. It contains semester-by-semester entries of courses, starting with the earliest semester and progressing to the most recent. A line and marker indication stating that there are “No entries below this line” will follow the last entry on your transcript.

Credit Hours and Grades: Your transcript will show the number of credit hours for each course and the final grade received. The reverse side of your transcript contains a “key” that provides information on grade interpretation and the grade-point average (GPA) scales WUSTL uses for a particular school or division.

Latin Honors: The Latin Honors of Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, and Cum Laude are displayed on the first page of your transcript with the degree earned.

Distinctions, Prizes and Awards: All other honors that have been noted on your academic record will appear at the end of your transcript, after your academic coursework.

Remarks: Additional information such as A.P. and transfer credits, and notations such as leaves of absence, also appear at the end of your transcript after academic coursework.
