Transcript Request

Transcript requests are normally processed within 1-3 business days of receipt of the request.  Requests for multiple transcripts may require more time.  Standard delivery of transcripts is by U.S. Mail first-class.  To provide the best service possible and to maintain security of academic records, transcripts may be ordered the following ways:

Electronic Transcripts

Ordering  Electronic transcripts ONLY: click here.

*This site is for students from Saint Joseph's College who attended after September 1980. Your transcript will be sent securely through eSCRIP-SAFE (a secure electronic alternative to the traditional paper transcript) in a PDF format via email.  Currently the service fee is $8.00 per electronic delivery address.

NOTE: Electronic transcripts sent to the recipient are considered OFFICIAL upon delivery, but become UNOFFICIAL if passed on to another recipient.

Saint Joseph's College, in partnership with SCRIP-SAFE International, is able to deliver official transcripts electronically through eSCRIP-SAFE to network recipients or outside the network to third parties.  This electronic delivery service is available only to SJC students who have enrolled since September 1980. Please read the following before completing your transcript request:

  • Network Delivery- Before completing your transcript request; please check the network recipient list to see if your intended receiver is a member of the electronic network. If the recipient is in the network, please insert their name on your order form and check "electronic network recipient".
  • OneTime Delivery- If your intended recipient is not a network member and you wish to deliver your transcript electronically, this method may be used. Receivers are designated and identified by you, the requestor, through the recipient's email address.

You should always notify your intended recipient they will be receiving important email messages regarding the electronic delivery of your transcript. To ensure delivery of these important email messages, please inform the recipient to add the domain name of @escrip-safe to their safe-sender email list.

OneTime receivers must complete a simple registration for each transcript delivered through eSCRIP-SAFE.  In addition, they must have a copy of Adobe Reader 7.0, or higher, which is free and easy to download on their computer.  The receiver has three options to retain the transcript: (1) save to the institution's document imaging system; (2) save electronically as a PDF document; or (3) print to paper.

Your transcript is never delivered by email; email is limited to notification and reminder messages regarding the delivery of your transcript.

To use this method, include the recipient's name and email address on the order form and check the "electronic outside the network recipient" option.
