Official Transcript Requests

Bethany College is pleased to offer delivery of official transcripts in electronic and postal mail formats through its partnership with the National Student Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse provides secure online ordering and delivery of your Bethany transcript

Once the Registrar receives notification from the National Student Clearinghouse of a request for an official transcript, staff review the student’s record for accuracy and then process the order.  Please be aware your transcript will NOT be released if you have an outstanding obligation to Bethany College or if you have a delinquent NDSL/Perkins Loan account.

You will need:

The mailing address or email address of where you want your transcript to go.  If you are sending your transcript to another college, check their website to obtain their address or email information.

A major credit card or debit card, as you will be charged as soon as you submit a request.

Fees:

Bethany College charges $8.00 per transcript requested and the National Student Clearinghouse charges a $2.50 service charge per order. The following additional charges are applied based on your selected delivery method:

Electronic: No extra charge

Mail: No extra charge

FedEx: $35

Things to Remember:

You can receive updates to your phone or email to track the progress of your transcript request. Just enter the appropriate information when prompted. 

Current students who wish to have a transcript request processed shortly after posting of current semester grades and/or degrees may indicate this in advance on the request. 

Please allow 3-5 days for processing. Transcript requests received 2 weeks before or after the beginning/end of a term may take up to 4 weeks for processing.

Third Party Requests:

Transcripts can be requested by a third party (e.g.: college, university, employer) when the third party is covering the cost of the transcript. The third party must provide a signed release from the student, which can be uploaded as a PDF when ordering the transcript online. 

The Office of the Registrar maintains certified, official academic records. Since transcripts contain confidential information, they cannot be released to anyone other than you without your written authorization. (The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 prohibits the release of a transcript or the information recorded hereon to a third party without the student’s express written consent.)
