Transcript Request

 

Ordering an Official George Mason University Transcript

Students seeking one semester grade reports for reimbursement purposes should contact the Verifications section of the Registrar’s Office in Rm. 3, North Chesapeake Module.

Incoming Requests
Are accepted by mail, fax, or in-person (see exception 1 for "privacy holds" below).

Outgoing Transcripts
Are mailed within five to seven business days (see exceptions 1-3 below).

Fee
All transcripts are free of charge and are sent regular mail.
Expedited mailing to third parties available for a substantial fee by Federal Express; payable by credit card only.

Limit
In person requests are limited to 2 official copies daily. Photo id is required.
Requests to be mailed are limited to 10 copies per request.

Written requests
If not using our form, written requests must include at minimum the following information: name, social security or student ID/G number, current address and phone number, last term attended, number of copies requested (no more than ten at a time), the address to which you wish them sent, and your signature.

Special Instructions
Please tell us if you’d like us 1) to hold for end of semester grades; 2) to hold until your degree is posted; 3) to package transcripts in separate, sealed envelopes; 4) to know you have an early deadline date; 5) to include materials you send in with your request.

To speed processing
If you attended George Mason under a different name, please include that information with your request. Note important deadline dates in the “Other” field.

Important to Note
All requests MUST carry the signature of the student. Only students in good financial standing with the University may have their official transcripts produced. We do not fax outgoing transcripts. Requests made by phone or email will not be accepted. Transcripts requested at the end of semesters will not be delayed to ensure all grades are included unless you request it as a special instruction.

A faxed or hand delivered request is considered mail and will be processed with all other incoming mail for that day.

Exceptions
1. Students with privacy holds on their records must request their transcript in person with a photo ID, or submit an original (not faxed) notarized request.

2. During periods of high demand at the beginning and end of each semester, students should expect longer processing delays and plan ahead. Transcripts for students who attended prior to 1979 may require a longer preparation period.

3. George Mason University will only issue George Mason transcripts. Transcripts from other institutions released to us become the property of the University and may not be released to any third party.
