All transcripts we produce in response to a student’s request are “Official” as far as we are concerned. They all are on special security paper with the Registrar’s signature, the date printed and the school seal. Any transcript we provide to the student will also indicate “ISSUED TO STUDENT”. Some agencies do not consider these to be official. Be sure to check with the agency requesting the transcript to verify what they consider to be official.

Unofficial transcripts are available to currently enrolled students who have online access to their records through their MyCSU account. (or take out their and account and just say MyCSU.) Unofficial Transcript are not available for students who don't have access to their MyCSU records.

CSU transcripts are complete records of your entire enrollment at CSU, including undergraduate and graduate work. We do not issue partial transcripts that contain a student’s undergraduate or graduate record separately.

If there is a problem with your record which prevents transcript issuance, such as a hold, then we will not release the transcript until the problem is resolved.
