The Registrar’s Office processes official transcript requests within 2 business days; transcripts are free of charge. All official transcript requests must be made in writing and signed by the student; this signature authorizes the Registrar’s Office to release academic information.

Former students may either submit a transcript request using the transcript request form or may submit a written request with the following information:

Student ID number or Social Security number
Your maiden name or the name under which you attended MCPHS
Year of graduation/dates attended
Program in which you are/were enrolled
Address(es) to which the transcript(s) should be sent

All financial obligations must be cleared before transcripts may be released. Any outstanding balance with the University will prevent the release of your transcript and you will be contacted immediately.
