Transcripts

Transcript ordering and fulfillment services for The University of the South are provided by Credentials Solutions. Secure electronic transcripts (PDF) are available for students first enrolling in 1994 or later and for those graduating in 1995 or later. Transcripts printed on secure paper are available for all current and former students and may be sent via first-class post or FedEx. Students may also pick up printed transcripts in the University Registrar’s Office during normal business hours. The University of the South does not provide faxed transcripts due to security, data transmission, and privacy considerations.

What is an Academic Transcript
An academic transcript is the University’s official certification of courses taken by, grades earned by, and degrees conferred upon an individual student. Students and alumni may need an academic transcript when seeking admission to graduate or professional schools, applying for external scholarships and fellowships, transferring to another institution, or completing applications for employment.

Grade Processing and Transcripts
Grades are recorded on transcripts at the end of each academic term. Currently-enrolled students may request that a transcript request be held until grades for the current term are recorded or until a degree is conferred and posted. During the grade processing period for end-of-term grades, official transcripts for currently-enrolled students will not be produced in order to avoid sending partial grade information. Once grades have been processed for all students, transcript production will resume. The University's transcript is a complete record of all academic work taken at this institution, regardless of whether the student was enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Theology, or both. The University does not produce partial transcripts.

Student Account Status and Academic Transcripts
Academic transcripts will not be provided for students with overdue accounts at the University.
