What Is an Official Transcript?

An official transcript is a copy of your complete academic record, which includes all courses taken and grades received for a specific program at ACU. Official transcripts are issued by the Office of the Registrar with the official seal of the university.

According to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the Office of the Registrar must have written permission to release student transcripts. No transcripts will be released unless requested through the electronic form. Students must fill out a new transcript request for each set of transcripts sent.

How to Request

Submit your request through the electronic transcript request form in Populi. When completing the form, please choose your desired delivery method and verify all recipient information carefully.

  • When completing the request, please verify that the recipient’s address and/or email was entered correctly. The Office of the Registrar cannot be responsible for delivery errors due to inaccurate information on the form.
  • Some institutions do not accept emailed or hand-delivered official transcripts. It is your responsibility to confirm that your receiving institution will accept transcripts in the requested format before submitting your request.
  • Official transcripts cannot be emailed directly to the student.

Fee: There is a nominal fee for sending official transcripts. Consult ACU’s Schedule of Tuition and Fees for the current amount. You’ll be asked to enter credit card information on the request form. If you prefer to pay by another method, contact the Office of the Registrar for a paper form and further instructions.

Processing Time: Transcript requests are processed within 3–7 business days of receipt.
