What is a transcript?
A transcript is a complete history of UW-Stevens Point courses attempted and
grades received. The courses are listed
in semester order and your semester and cumulative grade point averages (GPA's)
are shown after each term. It also shows
earned degrees, majors, and minors.
What is the difference between an official and an unofficial
transcript?
The main difference is that an official transcript typically reflects a higher
level of authentication and a reduced opportunity for someone to alter the
record. We use special safety paper and
it includes the registrar's signature.
It is most acceptable as official if it goes directly from UWSP to the
other school or business rather than passing through the student's hands. Some places may accept an official transcript
that is given to the student in a sealed envelope if the student sends it to
them unopened. Some places may even
accept a faxed copy in place of an official record. You should make sure a fax is acceptable
before paying the charge to have a faxed copy sent.
How can I get a copy of my unofficial transcripts?
Students
may get an unofficial transcript by coming in to the Registration and Records
Office, 101 SSB. It is printed on plain
paper and stamped "Unofficial transcript.
Issued to the student". There is no charge for this record. Unofficial transcripts cannot be mailed or
faxed. This is a convenience we provide
for local students.
Can a transcript be mailed to the student?
Yes,
however, it does say "Issued to the Student" on the transcript.
If I am picking up my transcript from Registration and Records, what will I need?
You will need a picture ID.
Can I have someone
else pick up my transcript for me?
Yes,
but you will have to let us know that at the time that the transcripts are
ordered. The person picking it up will
also need to have a picture id.
How long does it take for a transcript to be sent once the
request is received?
Generally transcripts will be mailed one to three business days after receiving
your request. Transcripts that are asked
to be faxed are usually sent the same day the request is received.
If I want a transcript sent by Fed Ex, can it be done?
Yes, we can do that if you choose that option when ordering. You will receive a tracking number from
Credentials. To use Fed Ex you must have
a street address. Fed Ex cannot deliver
to a P.O. Box.
Will my transcript show my GPA in my major or minor?
No, however, if you
need your GPA in your major or minor you can contact the Registration & Records
Office at (715) 346-4301 or email
regrec@uwsp.edu to get that information.
Will my transcript show my class rank?
No,
however, if you need your class rank you can contact the Registration & Records
Office at (715) 346-4301 or email
regrec@uwsp.edu to get that information.
What if I have my transcript faxed and the receiving party will
not accept it as official? Do I have to
put in another request to have it mailed?
Yes. Most institutions will not accept
faxed transcripts as official.
Does a transcript show courses and grades taken at other
schools?
We do show certain courses and grades taken at other UW campuses and
