You will need your original order number as well as the Student ID number or Social Security number that you entered on your order.
If your order requires a signed authorization form and it is not received within 30 days, your order will be automatically canceled.
PLEASE NOTE: We have a small number of schools that charge your credit card at the time your order is placed who will automatically refund the charges if your order is canceled.
If your transcript was delivered electronically, and you received notification of receipt, please contact your recipient.

If your transcript needs to be re-ordered, you will need to submit a new transcript order with payment.
