Request a Transcript

A transcript is a record of your GPA, cumulative earned credits, and course and grade history at UMBC, as well as degree(s) earned.

NEW!!!
The Office of the Registrar is pleased to announce that we are working with Credentials, Inc. to bring you a faster, more efficient way to request transcripts.

Key features of TranscriptsPlus include:

24/7 Access: You may submit your request from any computer connected to the Internet anywhere in the world.

Faster Service: Once authorized, your transcript request will be sent electronically to our office, allowing us to process it and mail it quickly.

Shipping Options: Need your transcript even faster? You can have it shipped via FedEx or even faxed! (Please note that a faxed transcript is not official.)

Status Updates: You can request e-mail, fax or even text messaging updates on the status of your request. If there is a problem in processing your request, you will be notified right away. You’ll receive a confirmation number, and tracking number for express delivery and a final notice indicating your request has been processed. Have a question? There’s toll-free assistance!

Address Search: You can search a database of many colleges and universities for exact mailing addresses.

TranscriptsPlus will facilitate your request 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Simply click on the TranscriptsPlus logo below or if you are a current UMBC student, access this site through myUMBC. Periodically throughout the day, UMBC will receive requests from Credentials and process them within our business hours (M-F 8:30-4:30). Be assured that Credentials uses current web encryption technology and that your information will be secure.



If you prefer to use this service without using the internet, you can call Credentials Inc. at 800-646-1858 to place your transcript request. There is an additional operator surcharge for placing orders over the telephone.

UMBC requires that you must authorize release of your academic transcript before your order can be processed. Some orders may qualify for “Automatic Authorization.” To qualify, your order must meet the following criteria:

  • Your name on the order and credit card must match your name as it appears on the University’s records
  • Your student identification number (or social security number) and date of birth must match what is in the University’s records
  • You do not have any attachments to accompany your transcript order

Please note that additional processing time may be required for students who attended UMBC prior to 1985. There may also be additional processing time required during high volume periods and University holidays for all students regardless of their dates of attendance.
