Requesting Transcripts

According to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, we must receive the student's written consent to release a transcript. Transcript requests will NOT be accepted by email; a signature is required. You may do this in one of three ways:

1. Send a letter to:

Office of the Registrar Haverford College 370 Lancaster Avenue Haverford, PA 19041-1392

2. Send a fax to:

(610) 795-7966
Attn: Office of the Registrar

3. Visit the Registrar's Office:

Complete a transcript request form.

In all cases, payment must accompany request. If you fax your request, transcript will be released when payment arrives.

Whichever method you choose, the following information is required with your request:

  1. Your full name. If your name has changed, provide the name that you used while at Haverford.
  2. Your class year, and/or your dates of attendance.
  3. The complete address(es) to which transcripts are to be sent and the number of copies per address.
  4. Your complete mailing address.
  5. YOUR SIGNATURE. Don't forget to sign faxes, too.
  6. Your check, payable to "Haverford College", for $5.00 per copy. If you do not include payment, the transcript will not be sent until payment is received.
  7. Your e-mail address, if applicable.

Other information that may be helpful, but is not required, is your SSN, birth date, and phone number.

When faxing or mailing, you may use our printable form to be sure you include all the pertinent information.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What exactly does official transcript mean?
    An official transcript is a document that contains the record of all the course work you did while a student at Haverford, including all grades. It also states your date of entrance, and if applicable, your date of graduation, your degree and major, and any college honors which you received. The document is official when it is certified with the Registrar's signature and Haverford's raised college seal.
  2. Can I request a transcript over the phone?
    No. By law, we must have the student's written consent to release a transcript.
  3. What is the turnaround time for transcript requests?
    Transcripts are processed in the order in which they are received, usually within 24 hours. Turnaround time may increase during peak periods, especially the months of December and January.
  4. Can you fax my transcript to me or to another number that I give you?
    No. The Registrar's Office will not fax transcripts under any circumstances.
  5. Do you have a rush service?
    No. Transcripts are processed in the order in which they are received and are sent by U.S. mail.
  6. If I come to the Registrar's Office, can I get an official transcript while I wait?
    Yes.
  7. Can I request an unofficial transcript for my own use?
    Only currently enrolled students may request unofficial transcripts, in person, at a reduced price, and only during the school year. Current students have the option of printing their unofficial transcript on-line. Graduates or students who have left the college must request official transcripts.
  8. Can I have a transcript sent to myself?
    Yes. We will send transcripts to wherever you specify.
  9. I've been asked to provide someone with a transcript in a sealed envelope. Can you do that?
    Yes. If you specifically request a transcript in a sealed envelope, we will send it to you that way. The Registrar's signature will cover the seal of the envelope to verify that the envelope was sealed in our office.
  10. I studied abroad while at Haverford. Will those grades appear as part of my transcript?
    Grades for study abroad work do not appear on the official Haverford transcript; only the course titles and the amount of credit received appear. If you wish to have a photocopy of your study abroad transcript accompany your Haverford transcript, you may request this at no additional charge. A photocopy of the study abroad transcript is not automatically sent unless you specifically request it when you request transcripts. Please keep in mind that we can only send a photocopy. Only the original school can release official copies, and the Haverford Registrar cannot certify transcript documents from other schools.
  11. I submitted transcripts to Haverford for summer school or study away work in the U.S. for which I received Haverford credit on my transcript. Will you send copies of these transcripts, on which my grades appear, with my Haverford transcript?
    No. You must contact the other schools directly if you wish to obtain copies of these transcripts.
  12. I did course work at Bryn Mawr and/or Swarthmore and/or the University of Pennsylvania during the regular academic year. Do I need to request transcripts from these schools as well as Haverford?
    No. Course work done during the regular academic year at any of the four cooperating institutions appears as a part of your Haverford transcript, including all grades received. However, this does not apply to summer work. If you did summer work at Bryn Mawr or any of the other schools and wish to receive transcripts with grades for that work, you must make the request to the other institution directly.
