Current students may order transcripts online through the “Transcript Preview and Ordering” option on the Student Link. There is a $4 fee, payable by credit card, for each official transcript ordered online.

Please include the following information: full name, including any former names; contact phone and e-mail; signature; Boston University ID number or Social Security number; schools attended and dates; degrees awarded; and complete addresses of transcript destinations. The fee is $6 for each transcript requested in writing, and payment must accompany the request. Processing time for transcript requests is about two business days. Transcripts can be sent Express Mail for an additional $19 per destination to locations within the continental United States. For other destinations, please contact the Transcript Department for the cost. Unofficial transcripts can be obtained in person at the Registrar’s Office during regular business hours. There is no charge for unofficial transcripts. A valid photo ID is required to obtain unofficial and official transcripts if the request is made in person at the Registrar’s Office. Please note that the Registrar’s Office does not mail unofficial transcripts.
