To obtain her official transcript, your daughter can follow these steps:
Obtaining an Official Transcript
- Current Students: Log into MyUCLA with her UCLA Logon ID, navigate to the "Classes" tab, and select "Transcript – Official".
- Alumni/Non-current Students: If she does not have a MyUCLA login, she can order through Parchment by creating a learner account.
- In-Person/Mail: She can complete the Official Transcript Order Form and submit it to the Registrar’s Office at 1113 Murphy Hall or mail it to the address provided on the form.
- Delivery & Fees: Standard electronic transcripts are typically free, while expedited paper transcripts cost around $15.00, and FedEx delivery is $25.00. Processing times vary, with electronic PDFs often processed within 24 hours and paper transcripts taking about three business days plus mailing time.
- Authentication: Official transcripts are printed on security paper with the Registrar's seal, while unofficial transcripts are printed on plain paper without the seal.
- Delivery: Official transcripts are sent directly from UCLA to the recipient in a sealed envelope or as a secure PDF, whereas unofficial transcripts can be downloaded or printed by the student immediately.
- Usage: Official transcripts are required for formal applications, such as internships or graduate school, while unofficial transcripts are typically used for personal records or advising.
