Transcripts

Can I send my transcript request by email?

Transcript Requests can now be requested by email Registrar@uni.edu, but still require a signed release.  We have re-vamped our Transcript Request Form to be a fillable document.  Unless you have an electronic signature file stored on your computer, you will be unable to sign the form electronically.  As a result, you will need to print out the Transcript Request Form, sign it, and either fax, mail, or scan and e-mail it back to our office. 

What is the turn-around time for a transcript?

Upon receiving a transcript request, it is normally processed and sent back out within 1-2 business days. By way of regular mail, a transcript can be expected to arrive within one to two weeks.

Does your office provide unofficial transcripts?

The Registrar's Office only issues official transcripts on security sealed paper when sent to the institution or home address. If the student wishes to request a transcript while in our office and take it with them immediately, we stamp the transcript "Issued to Student." This process makes the transcript unofficial.

If a current student needs to see their grade report, they can access the online grade report via their MyUNIverse account:

Is the transcript held until payment is received?

Transcript requests are processed immediately whether or not payment is included. If the request does not include payment, the transcript will be mailed and a bill will be generated and sent to the requestor's current billing address.  Transcripts or certificates will not be released until all delinquent accounts have been paid.  If you have questions on your delinquent account please call Office of Business Operations at 319-273-2164 or e-mail the Cashier's Office.

Can I request a transcript over the phone?

A transcript cannot be requested over the phone as a student signature is required to authorize release of your transcripts in accordance with FERPA of 1974. Please refer to our Transcript Requests Page to learn more about how you can request a transcript.

Why is a signature required on the transcript request form?

In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, your signature is required to authorize the release of your transcripts.
