Transcript Fees
Applications for transcripts must be made only in writing to the registrar, either by U.S. mail or on forms available at the Registrar's Office in G-8 Sutton Hall. Such requests must include:

Your full name and Social Security number as of your graduation or termination of enrollment at IUP. (Please note any name changes since graduation.)
Your present address.
Whether you graduated or, if not, when you were enrolled.
The full and clearly stated name(s) and address(es) of person(s) to whom you wish the transcript(s) sent.

A transcript fee is charged for each copy requested. (Checks or money orders should be made out to Indiana University of Pennsylvania.) An additional charge will be assessed for express transcript service. Please call 724-357-2217 for current transcript fee information.

Official transcripts (containing signature and university seal) will not be issued to students directly. The university will attempt to mail official transcripts within a reasonable time. However, in the event of its failure to do so, damages will be limited to the fee, if any, paid by the student for the copy or copies of the transcript. In no case is the university responsible for consequential damages.
