Request a Transcript

Towson University has partnered with Parchment Exchange to make transcript orders and diploma re-orders easier for you. All students will receive their initial diploma free of charge within 2-3 months of degree completion.

Students applying for Towson Undergraduate or Graduate Admissions do not need to request an official transcript from Towson University as part of their admission process. Your official transcript from TU will be obtained internally.

Current and Former Students

Transcripts are available in paper ($12) or digital ($10) format from Parchment Exchange. Former TU students who no longer have access to their student dashboard can order their official transcripts on the Parchment website. Please ensure final grades have posted and/or the degree has been conferred if you are expecting that information to appear on the transcript.

Unofficial Transcripts

Current students can view unofficial transcripts from their student dashboard via Towson Online Services Student Dashboard, under the Academics tab. Former TU students who no longer have access to their student dashboard may request an unofficial transcript in person with a photo ID at the Registrar's Office, ES223. Unofficial transcripts will not be emailed, faxed, or mailed.

When placing an order, please use a personal email address if you do not have access to a TU email address. Entering inaccurate information for transcript orders or diploma re-orders will result in the order not being fulfilled. Please verify all information is correct before submitting your order.

While electronic transcripts are widely accepted, confirm with your recipients that they will accept this format before ordering. An electronic (secure, certified PDF) transcript is “official” in its electronic form as long as it is not altered. It is also considered “official” if it is sent directly from Towson University to the intended recipient. A forwarded transcript is considered unofficial. Each time the file is opened, it will be certified electronically (internet connection required) to ensure that it has not been altered. A printed copy of a PDF transcript is not official.

Yes, the attachment will be enclosed in the same envelope with the transcript and must have the following characteristics:

  1. Acceptable file formats are: PDF, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, TXT, DOC and DOCX
  2. Files cannot exceed 300kb

A paper transcript is “official” only as long as it remains in its sealed envelope. Do not open the sealed envelope if you are forwarding the document to another party (an institution, employer or other person). Open the envelope only if you have ordered the transcript for personal use.
