Important Information about ordering transcripts:
- Transcripts are confidential records and may only be ordered by the student whose record is being requested.
- Because your original signature must be included, a transcript order cannot be accepted over the phone. Computer-generated signatures are not valid.
- Transcripts will not be released until holds on accounts are cleared.
- Transcripts are not able to be sent for individual semesters or courses. Orders for transcripts will contain the entire student record.
- Processing time for student records who have attendance prior to Fall 1986 is a minimum of 1-2 weeks.
Please allow 5-7 working days for processing your transcript order. Allow extra time for processing at peak periods (end of semester and commencement).

Electronic Transcript

Please Note:
- Confirm with the recipients that they will be able to receive an electronic copy of your transcript. To avoid potential problems with spam filters, please instruct recipients to allow emails from Parchment (noreplyint@parchment.com).
- An eTranscript is considered official in PDF format only. If printed, the words COPY OF OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT will appear to indicate that the paper copy is not an official institutional document.
- Pop-up blockers must be disabled. See here to learn how.
- Electronic Law Transcripts are available separately for $3.00. Please follow the same steps but select the Law Transcript option at Step 5.
- Electronic transcript ordering will not be available if there is a financial hold on the account. Please contact Husker Hub (402-472-2030) for hold information.
Receiving Electronic Transcripts:
- Electronic transcripts are available for 30 days after delivery.
- Recipients will receive a reminder email a few days prior to the expiration date.
- After 30 days, orders cannot be resent. A new order must be placed.
