Transcripts

Academic History

You can view your academic history and overall grade point average using the cMore Academic Portal. Your academic history includes only the courses taken in the College since matriculation. For your complete academic profile, you will need to consult an official or unofficial transcript.

Official Transcripts

The Registrar charges students for a “Lifetime Transcript Fee,” which means you’re able to order transcripts when you need them at no additional charge. Order official transcripts through the cMore Academic Portal. More information is available on the Registrar’s transcript page.

Unofficial Transcripts

Current students in the College may order a free copy of the unofficial transcript in person only at the Advising Reception desk on the second floor of Harper Library. A single copy of the transcript will be available within 24 hours. Unofficial transcripts are also distributed by College advisers to second-, third-, and fourth-year students during the annual advising conference. Students are encouraged to check their transcripts carefully for errors or omissions.
