Order Transcripts Online

A transcript is an official record of your academic history at York. It is a comprehensive summary of your course enrolment, the grades you earned and sessional academic decisions (e.g. "May proceed in Honours"). Transcripts are typically required when you are applying to another postsecondary program (e.g. graduate school); in addition, a potential employer, government agency or insurance company may ask you for a transcript in order to authenticate your complete record at York. If a third-party (e.g. prospective employer) only needs to verify the completion of your degree, you may direct them to our online degree verification service, YU Verify.

You may request a copy of your transcript, or have a transcript sent directly to a third party. Please check with your intended recipient before ordering your transcript.

Timing Your Transcript Request Correctly

  • Make sure that you request your transcript when you need it, and not before.
  • Check your online grade report (fall/winter - summer) to make sure all the information you need is on your transcript including any expected grades, grade changes or petition results.
  • Grades for students from Osgoode Hall Law School and the Faculty of Education are traditionally released later than other Faculties. Students from these Faculties who request to hold their transcript request until grades are released, should select their appropriate Faculty from the delivery date drop-down menu (online request) or checkbox (paper request form).
  • If you are planning to graduate and require your transcript to reflect that your degree has been conferred, please refer to the timelines before submitting your request to ensure that your degree conferral will appear on your transcript.
