A transcript is an official record of a student’s academic history throughout their time at Yale.
Official transcripts are certified by the Registrar and typically sent directly from the issuing institution to the recipient, however students and alumni may wish to retain a copy for their own records.
The transcript will include the student’s personal identifiers such as legal name and student identification number and academic history including school or college attended; major(s), concentration(s) and/or certificate(s); degree(s) sought or earned; courses attempted including in progress work (if applicable); grades earned; grade point average (GPA); credit hours; transfer credits (if applicable); honors and distinction(s).
Note: Legal names are listed on student transcripts. See information included on transcript FAQ below and Name Policy information.

E-transcripts can only be sent to the “recipient” email address. Having it sent to you and attempting to forward it nullifies it as an official transcript.
When an order for an E-transcript is fulfilled, the recipient will receive two emails - one to generate a passcode and one with a url to enter the passcode and download the E-transcript. The recipient may access and download the E-transcript up to three time before the url expires.
If the recipient encounters problems with the E-transcript download it is recommended to clear the internet browser cache and ensure the most up to date Adobe software edition is installed.
You will only receive a tracking number if you select Priority or Express delivery. Standard USPS delivery does not provide a tracking number and refunds will not be provided if USPS fails to deliver.
