Transcripts

The Office of the Registrar can help you with all your transcript needs. Whether you’re applying for graduate school, earning a credential, transferring to another school or have a new employer, your official transcripts are the key.

Processing Time

Online transcript requests are routinely processed and mailed out within 3 to 5 business days of receipt. CSUSM does not offer expedited (RUSH) handling of requests. Transcripts are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please note that due to high volume of requests received at the beginning and end of each semester, transcript-processing time varies. Time-sensitive orders should be requested early to ensure that the recipient receives your transcript(s) prior to any application deadlines or opportunities.

All transcripts on the form will be processed immediately

The online request form does not offer the option of holding your request for grades or degree conferral. If you desire to have a transcript sent after these dates, please submit the request at that time, or use the paper request form.

Holds on your records

Your request will not be processed if you have any outstanding financial or administrative obligations to the university. These must be cleared before your records can be released.

What makes an official transcript OFFICIAL

For a transcript to be considered official, it must:

• Remain sealed in its envelope
• Be printed on security transcript paper
• Carry the signature of the university registrar and university seal
• All transcripts sent from CSUSM are considered official unless an unofficial copy has been requested.

What is included on an official transcript

A copy of your transcript includes:

• Degree(s) awarded, major and minor, and certificates of study
• Transfer credit from other institutions accepted by CSUSM. Only the total number of credit hours accepted is indicated. Transcripts of transfer credits must be requested directly from the institution that awarded the credit.
• All courses taken and attempted at CSUSM and grade awarded
• Student standing each term
• GPA for each term and institute totals
