Additional requests:

  • If you need any forms or documents sent with your transcript, you will need to submit them along with your transcript request.
  • We are unable to release transcripts if you have a financial or educational hold on your student account with either KU Medical Center the University of Kansas.

We now offer official electronic (PDF) transcripts through the National Student Clearinghouse.

  • The cost for these e-transcripts will be between $2.25-$4.25, depending on the receiving capabilities of the recipient.
  • Processing time is 3-5 business days, after which time your transcript will be emailed to or shared through electronic exchange with your intended recipient.
  • Note that while you may send an e-transcript to yourself, most institutions will consider transcripts initially issued to students as unofficial.
  • Only electronic transcripts can be ordered through the National Student Clearinghouse. Paper transcripts should be ordered using the instructions above.
  • Also, the Registrar's Office cannot submit any additional forms or documents along with your e-transcript. If you need any additional documentation sent along with your transcript, the official school seal present on your transcript, or if your request requires a notary service, you will need to order a paper transcript.
  • Before you begin your e-transcript order:
    • Contact the intended recipient about the transcript format that is acceptable. Not every institution will accept e-transcripts. The Registrar's Office will not reissue transcript orders or provide a refund for orders once they have been processed.
    • Be sure that you have the correct email address for the recipient. The Registrar's Office cannot edit transcript orders.
    • Know your KU Medical Center student ID number or your social security number.
    • Have your debit or credit card ready.
    • Resolve any KU Medical Center student holds that will prevent the release of transcripts. If you have such a hold when you place your order, you will receive an email from the Registrar's Office with information on how to resolve the hold. If the hold is not resolved within 30 days, your order will be canceled.
    • Once an order is submitted, it cannot be changed or edited. If any information is entered incorrectly, please contact the Registrar's Office immediately by calling 913-588-7055 and we will attempt to cancel the order before it is sent. The student will then need to place a new order with the correct information. The Registrar's Office cannot provide a refund for orders once they have been processed.
