Academic Transcripts
An academic transcript is a chronological listing of all coursework completed at Hillsdale College. The transcript includes semester and cumulative grade point information, transfer credit information, and degree information.
Official Transcript
An official transcript bears both the Registrar’s signature and the College seal.
Official transcripts are available in paper form for all students who entered the College before 2007 and are printed on colored security paper. The first two official, paper transcripts of any order are free. Any additional copies are $2.00 each. There is no fee for an unofficial transcript.
For students who entered the College in 2007 and after, official transcripts are available in secure, electronic form via the Parchment e-transcript service. A fee of $3.50 is charged for each official transcript requested through this service. Please go to www.parchment.com to create an account and place an order.
Unofficial Transcript
An unofficial transcript bears neither the Registrar’s signature nor the College seal.
Unofficial transcripts are available to active students through Self-Service. Former students may request their unofficial transcript by emailing [email protected]. This request must include your name at the time of attendance and your date of birth.
