Request Methods/Forms

On Campus

You may visit the Registrar's Office, 003 Wilder Tower (basement), and request a transcript in person. Go to the Transcripts counter and complete an In-Office request form. Be sure to have a picture ID with you.

Off Campus

If it is not convenient or practical for you to visit our office, you can request a transcript in one of the ways listed below. You must complete and sign an Off-Campus Transcript Request form. We will not process your request without your handwritten signature.

Fax:	Fax the completed, signed form to (901) 678-3249.
Postal Mail:	Mail the completed, signed form to:      University of Memphis      Transcripts      003 Wilder Tower      Memphis, TN 38152

Information We Need

Using the request forms should make this easy, but be prepared to state or indicate the following:

• Your complete name and any former names you attended under.
• Your U-Number or the last four digits of your Social Security Number (if you do not have a U-Number).
• Your birth date.
• The first and last years you attended the University of Memphis.
• If the transcript should be held for current semester grades or a degree. If so, indicate the type of degree you will be receiving.
• If the transcript should be held for a pending grade change. If so, indicate the course and semester.
• If you attended Law School.
• The number of copies you want and the addresses to which they should be mailed.

Optional Information: Enclosures

Provide/include any enclosures that are to accompany your transcript. Do not send an enclosure to us, including a request from an outside transcript service, without our Off-Campus Transcript Request form attached. Enclosures often do not include the information we need to identify your record, thus, preventing us from processing your request.

Transcripts Mailed to You

You may request that your transcript be sent to you. However, any transcript mailed directly to you will have "Issued to Student" stamped on it. Many, but not all, institutions require that your transcript be mailed directly to them and will not accept a transcript that has been "Issued to Student." If you are not sure if an "Issued to Student" transcript will be accepted, check with the recipient.

Costs

You may request as many as 20 transcripts free. However, you must pay $5.00 per copy for every transcript over 20. Also, if you are requesting more than 20 transcripts, you will need to complete an "Excess Transcripts Charge" form as well as a "Transcript Request" form (see Request Forms below).

Holds

We will not release your transcript if you have any outstanding obligations to the University (unpaid fees or fines, unreturned equipment or uniforms, etc.), or if a transcript "hold" has been placed on your records for judicial, admissions-related, or other reasons. For more information, see Viewing Holds.

Request Forms

Delivery

Unless you indicate that you will pick up your transcript at our office, we will mail it (postal mail) to the mailing address(es) you indicate on your request form. We do not FAX transcripts, and we do not transfer transcripts electronically.
