Obtaining your academic transcripts from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) is a straightforward process designed with student convenience in mind. The Office of the Registrar provides official transcripts, detailing your academic history, including courses, grades, GPA, and degrees, directly to you or your designated recipients. This guide will walk you through the various methods to request your transcripts, with a focus on the efficient Uiuc Self Service system.
Official Transcripts: Quick and Convenient Ordering Through UIUC Self Service
For current and former students needing official documentation of their academic achievements, UIUC offers a streamlined online ordering system via Student Self-Service. This platform is the quickest way to request both PDF and paper transcripts.
Current Students: Leveraging UIUC Self Service for Immediate Access
If you are currently enrolled or a recent student with active Student Self-Service credentials, ordering your official transcript is just a few clicks away. Simply log in to UIUC Self Service and navigate to the Student Services link on your myUIconnect page. From there, you can easily submit your request for an official PDF or paper transcript. This online system ensures a smooth and efficient ordering experience right from your UIUC Self Service account.

Alumni and Former Students: Utilizing Parchment for Official Transcript Requests
Alumni and former students who may no longer have active Student Self-Service logins can still effortlessly order official transcripts online. UIUC has partnered with Parchment, a trusted transcript service, to facilitate orders for those without UIUC Self Service access. Through Parchment, you can securely request and send your official transcripts electronically or via mail.

Note: If you only require a transcript for personal review and don’t need an official version, you can print your academic history directly from Student Self-Service. Remember that UIUC Self Service pertains specifically to the Urbana-Champaign campus. For transcripts from the University of Illinois Springfield (UIS) or University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), please visit their respective websites: www.uis.edu for UIS and www.uic.edu for UIC. Medical and Nursing records for UIC are also handled by UIC.
Accessing Student Self-Service: UIUC Self Service is readily available for current students and former students who have maintained their NetID login credentials. The Transcript Unit cannot provide login information for former students.

Unofficial Transcripts: Instant Access for Current Students via UIUC Self Service
Current and recent students have immediate access to unofficial transcripts through UIUC Self Service. After logging into Student Self-Service, navigate to Student Services on the myUIconnect page. On the Student Services Dashboard, locate “View Academic History/Unofficial Transcript” under the Records section. From here, you can conveniently print your unofficial transcript to paper or save it as a PDF. UIUC Self Service provides quick and easy access to your academic records whenever you need them.
For former students who no longer have access to Student Self-Service, unofficial paper transcripts are available for in-person pickup only at the Records Service Center. You must present photo identification to collect your transcript, and unfortunately, unofficial transcripts cannot be faxed, mailed, or emailed by the office.

Holding Your Transcript for Grades or Degree Conferral
When ordering, you have the option to request a transcript hold until final grades or your degree for the current semester are officially recorded. This ensures your transcript is complete and up-to-date. However, if you anticipate a grade change, it’s advisable to wait until the change is reflected in Student Self-Service before ordering. The Registrar does not hold transcripts for grade changes or maintenance.
Transcripts held for degree conferral are typically released approximately four weeks after your conferral date. If your degree status in the Academic History section of Student Self-Service shows as “Awarded” and no longer “Pending” before the official release date on the Academic Calendar, you can contact the Transcript Unit at 217-333-9778 to request immediate processing of your transcript order.
Mail-in and Fax Transcript Requests
While UIUC Self Service and Parchment offer the most convenient online ordering methods, mail-in and fax requests are also accepted. You can download the Transcript Order Form, complete it, and mail or fax it to the Records Service Center.
Common Application College Report
If you are transferring to another institution using the Common Application, verify if they require the College Report for transfers. If needed, follow the College Report instructions to prepare and submit the report to the Records Service Center for completion. Please allow up to 4 weeks for processing due to coordination with the Dean of Students Office.
