At CityU, transcripts are the responsibility of the Office of the Registrar which is based in Seattle. There are two primary types of transcripts you can request – unofficial or official.
Unofficial transcript
To access your unofficial transcript, click on “Student Center” in the top nav bar of http://my.cityu.edu
- Login when the screen comes up
- Click on the My Academic Records Tile
- Click on View My Unofficial Transcript
There is no cost to access your unofficial transcript through the student portal and you can download it immediately.
Official transcripts
Official transcripts are $13.00 USD each plus an online processing fee of $2.25 USD for each transaction (i.e. you can order as many transcripts as you like in each transaction). Transcripts can only be ordered online using a credit card. Transcripts will not be issued unless all outstanding fees to City University of Seattle have been cleared.
- ONLINE REQUESTS
Online requests for official transcripts are generally processed within 3-5 days. If you need your transcript processed more quickly, please complete the process below AND notify your advisor via email. In your email, please include your student number and the date you need your transcript.
Requests for official transcripts are processed through the National Student Clearinghouse’s Transcript Ordering Centre. You will be able to track the progress of your request through the system. You can access this site through the CityU student portal under the Office of the Registrar or directly using the link below.
| Step 1: Navigate to the National Student Clearinghouse site: https://tsorder.studentclearinghouse.org |
| Step 2: Enter “City University of Seattle” or select it from the drop down list of schools. Select “Start.” |
| Step 3: Enter your personal information. Please note that you will need your CityU Student ID number to request your transcript. If you don’t remember your student ID, you can access it through your Student Portal (http://my.cityu.edu/) on your unofficial transcript (under “My Grades”). |
| Step 4: Select who will be receiving the official transcript – either yourself or another recipient (i.e. other school, TQS, etc.) |
| Step 5: Once you select a recipient, you will be able to select a delivery method. For Canadian students, always select “Mail” as your delivery method. If you need your transcript within 3 weeks: In the text box under the mailing address, please put this note “Pending E-Global Shipping Request” AND follow the Expedited Shipping Instructions below. Adding the note will let the Business Office know to look for the expedited shipping label for your transcript. If you do not need your transcript within 3 weeks: Leave the text box blank. The USPS/Canada Post will deliver your transcript via regular mail. Postal delivery times vary. |
| Step 6: Enter the mailing address where the transcript should be sent. |
| Step 7: Select the number of transcripts to be sent to that address. |
| Step 8: You have three choices for when the Registrar’s Office can process your transcript: Now: This will process your transcript and get it sent out with 3-5 business days. If you are unsure if your grades or degree have been posted, please check your unofficial transcript through your Student Portal account (http://my.cityu.edu/) before requesting your official transcript. After grades are posted: This will process your transcript when the grades for the prior quarter are posted. Grades are generally posted 2-3 weeks into the next quarter. You can confirm when your grades are posted by reviewing your unofficial transcript. You can select the term for which you’d like your grades to be posted before running your transcript. After degree is awarded: This will process your transcript after the Registrar’s Office has confirmed that you have met all of the outstanding requirements for your degree program, all of your outstanding student fees have been paid, you have requested a Degree Audit and the Registrar’s Office has confirmed your degree. You will need to include your expected degree completion term. |
| Step 9: If you would like additional transcripts sent to another address, click on “Save & Add Recipient” to repeat the process. Otherwise, click “Next.” |
| Step 10: Review your order. If you would like to receive text messages with updates to your transcript processing, please click on “yes” and enter your phone number. |
| Step 11: You will now be taken to a secure site to enter your credit card information. Please follow the instructions. |
| Step 12: Once your credit card information has been entered, you will need to submit a signed consent form or your order will not be processed. The system will take you to a site where you can sign the form electronically and then print it once it is submitted or where you can download the form, print and sign it manually, and then resubmit the form. Please note that if you do not sign the electronic consent form within 30 days, your order will be cancelled. |
