When Will Transcripts Be Sent?
Official transcripts of course work taken at San Diego State University (including Open University, Extension and Summer/Winter sessions) may be ordered through the SDSU WebPortal.
Official transcripts can be ordered online in your SDSU WebPortal under "Official Transcript." If all your course work was completed prior to 1987 or if your transcript requires special handling (e.g. via FedEx, Priority Mail), you will need to order official transcripts by completing an Official Transcript Request form and submitting it to the University Cashiers Office.
For identification purposes, official transcripts sent to educational institutions within the United States will include your Social Security Number (SSN) and month/day of your birth date. All other official transcripts will print without your SSN, but with the month/day of your birth date.
Price
The fee to order official transcripts is $7.00 per transcript.
If you are not ordering transcripts via the SDSU WebPortal, all official transcript request forms and the appropriate fee must be submitted or mailed to:
Cashiers Office
San Diego State University
5500 Campanile Drive
San Diego, CA 92182-7426
When Will Transcripts Be Sent?
An official transcript is usually sent within 3-5 business days after the request is processed by the Cashiers Office, unless a hold has been indicated. If you need the transcripts mailed via FedEx or Priority Mail, you must submit your request in person or via regular mail and include a pre-paid Priority Mail, Express Mail or FedEx envelope with your request to expedite the mailing process.
Semester grades are available 3-4 weeks after the last day of finals. Degrees are posted after grades are available and posted to transcripts throughout a 4-6 week period of time.
All official transcripts are mailed to the address designated in the transcript request. They cannot be obtained in person. All transcripts sent to students are marked "Issued to Student" and may not be considered official by other educational institutions. In addition, employers and other business concerns may not consider these transcripts official if the seal on the mailing envelope is broken. Students must specify on the request form if they desire transcripts to be sent in separate sealed envelopes.
Transcripts are not issued until all outstanding accounts with the University are paid. The Office of the Registrar does not send transcripts to the SDSU Graduate Division and Research or to the SDSU Office of Admissions.
Only San Diego State University transcripts will be issued. Copies of other schools' transcripts are NOT included. Transcripts from other schools must be ordered from the original source.
You can print free unofficial SDSU transcripts online through the SDSU WebPortal. Unofficial transcripts report the same course and grade information as the official transcripts. However, they are not considered official because they do not have the official university seal imprinted on them and are not suitable for transfer purposes. Unofficial transcripts are used primarily for student reference.
