Official Transcript

A George Mason University official transcript is a complete record of a student's enrollment at Mason. Coursework earned through Continuing Education or the English Language Institute is not reflected on an official Mason transcript. Partial transcripts are not available.

An official transcript will not be issued unless all financial obligations to the University have been satisfied. Official transcripts will not be faxed. They can only be picked up or mailed.

To request a Continuing Professional Education (Non-Credit Record), print and complete the Non-Credit Record Request form and fax or mail it to the address listed at the top of the form.

Unofficial transcripts are available to currently-enrolled and former students at George Mason at no charge, and can be accessed through Patriot Web. Please go to View Unofficial Transcript for further information.

• Exact addressing. You put the address in exactly as you want it to appear. No risk of data entry errors or inability to read a hand-written address.
• Release Form online. You type the required information onto the web page instead of printing out a form and completing it by hand.
• Easy checking. You can look online 24 hours a day/7 days a week to make sure the transcript has been printed. If a tracking service was used, you may view the tracking number online. If there is a problem in processing, you will receive an e-mail notification and you will know what the problem is immediately.
• Exact pricing. You are told immediately what the total cost will be, and can pay by credit card.
• Communication channel. An e-mail is sent to you each time there is a status change in the transcript order. You are automatically notified each step of the way, from receipt of the order to notice when the transaction is complete. This becomes especially important if there are any problems with the order.

Former Students and Alumni

Order a Transcript directly through TranscriptsPlus

Former students and alumni who infrequently request transcripts do not need to create a Patriot Pass acount. You may be best served by clicking on the TranscriptsPlus image below:

If you choose to use TranscriptsPlus, you may be required to provide the school with a signed form authorizing release of your academic transcript before your order can be processed. Some orders may qualify for "Automatic Authorization" without your signature. To qualify for "Automatic Authorization", your order must meet the following criteria:

• Credit card name must match your name on University records.
• Three of the following - Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, GNumber - must match the values in University records.
• There are no attachments that need to be included with your transcript.

If your order is not eligible for "Automatic Authorization," a form will be available at the end of the order process. Print, sign and mail or fax this form. Your order will be processed upon receipt unless you have requested that it be held for degree or grade posting.

Former students and alumni who wish to order via PatriotWeb must setup a Patriot Pass acount. Please fill out the Setting up your Patriot Pass Account form in order to gain access to Patriot Web.
