Transcripts

Official transcripts may only be ordered online through Parchment, Inc. The University does not accept fax requests for transcripts. Official transcripts cost $10 per copy. Current and former students may access an Unofficial Transcript at no charge through MyUWF.

Transcripts ordered online are generally mailed within one to three business days from the day the order is received.

Transcripts will not be released until all holds at the institution have been cleared. Students may view any holds on their account in MyUWF. If you have a question regarding an account balance, please contact the Controller's Office at 850.474.3037.

The University may request your Social Security Number on your transcript request form as a means of identification. For further information and/or clarification, refer to the Statement on the Collection and Use of Social Security Numbers.

Students can view(and print) an Unofficial Transcript at no charge from their online student account. Current and former students access the Unofficial Transcript link through MyUWF. The University of West Florida does not distribute unofficial transcripts. If an unofficial transcript is needed to be sent to a third party, the student should print it from his or her MyUWF account.

Students will also have access to an Excess Hours transcript through MyUWF. This is an unofficial transcript that is produced for the purpose of determining a student's excess hour calculation. The information provided is the same as that on the unofficial transcript, but the formatting has been adjusted. For more information regarding excess hours please visit Excess Hours or access the Excess Hours app in your MyUWF account.

Before placing a transcript order, always view your unofficial transcript. The information displayed on your unofficial transcript will be the same on your official transcript.

Official Transcripts are a comprehensive record of your academic progress to date printed on security paper that includes markers for authenticity. They are produced by the UWF Registrar's Office and obtained at the request and written authorization of release by the student. Delivery of the transcript is as requested by the student which may include in-person or postal mailing in a secure envelope marked "official transcript enclosed if seal is broken transcript shall be considered null and void" (the text will appear in all capital letters), PDF password secured email, and through the FASTER electronic delivery system within state of Florida educational institutions.

TeacherReady transcripts are available for those who have completed the program, including all coursework, fieldwork, and FTCE exams. If you have any questions about your program completion or need to verify your current status, please contact us at teacherreadyadvisors@uwf.edu.

IMPORTANT: To be eligible for transcripts, you must have completed:

• Coursework
• Fieldwork
• FTCE Exams

Attachments must be uploaded when you place your transcript order through Parchment. If the Office of the Registrar needs to complete the information requested on the attachment, please forward the attachment to registrar@uwf.edu prior to submitting your transcript request.  Once completed the form will be emailed back to you and you may include it when you place your transcript request online.   

If you have a "hold" on your student record, you will be notified via your UWF email account. When your order is finalized, you will receive a confirmation email containing your order number. If you don't receive confirmation, please contact the Office of the Registrar at registrar@uwf.edu. 

If you place your order early and ask us to hold your transcript until your grades or degrees are posted, we will mail the transcripts being held for degrees approximately two (2) weeks following graduation. That is when the degrees and honors have been checked for accuracy. Transcripts being held for grades will be mailed approximately one (1) week after final grades are posted at the end of each semester.  That is when most “late” grades have been received and other grading processes (i.e. repeat courses, grade forgiveness, probation/suspension) have been finalized. However, you may view your grades through the “Grades” link in your MyUWF account and submit your transcript request as soon as you can see your posted grades.

Please Note: Transcripts will reflect grades 2 business days after the course ends, however, the GPA reflected is preliminary. Official GPA and Academic Standing will be updated at the end of the semester. If a transcript is ordered early and the final GPA and Academic Standing are not updated, you will have to order another copy at your own expense.

Due to security reasons, there is no way to change the email or mailing address once you have placed an order. If you want to change the destination, contact the Office of the Registrar (email: registrar@uwf.edu) to cancel the order and you may then place a new order with the correct address. Please note the order cannot be canceled after it has been delivered to the recipient.

No. All transcript orders are placed online. Please see Ordering an Official UWF Transcript. 

There is an additional fee for Federal Express mailing (domestic; Alaska/Hawaii only; and International).  Fed Ex does not mail to APO/FPO addresses.

No. Our transcripts are complete records of your entire enrollment at UWF, and would also include any transfer credits accepted if you attended UWF as an undergraduate student. We do not reflect transfer credit for students who attend UWF only as graduate students. If you completed undergraduate work at UWF, we cannot issue partial transcripts of just your graduate work.

The turnaround time of within three to five business days is an estimate as to how long the request will be in our office before the response is mailed. It is not a guarantee. Frequently it will be less than five business days, but occasionally it will be more. We make every effort to keep our turnaround within the five days. This does not include the actual mailing time after it leaves our office. However, if you place your order online, the transcripts will usually be mailed the following business day (with the exception of peak registration and/or grading periods).

Yes. In most cases, you should get it the next day (or as requested and paid for in your original order), but we cannot guarantee it. Also, International addresses can take three to five days longer than domestic mail delivery.

• Please note that only one transcript per package when requesting delivery by FedEx
• Fed Ex does not deliver to APO/FPO addresses

If your record has a hold, you will be notified when placing your order via your UWF email account. Holds will prevent a transcript order and must be resolved to place the order. If you have an outstanding financial obligation to UWF, such as parking tickets, missing library books, or being in arrears with your student loan payments collected by UWF, your record may have a financial hold and you will be notified if this is the case. There are also other types of “non-financial” holds (i.e. financial aid exit counseling) that prevent transcripts from printing. You may check for any holds via MyUWF - please see Viewing Holds. 

No. If the application indicates that previous transcripts need to be sent to Admissions, you need not request a copy of your UWF transcript. When the Office of Admissions is ready to review your UWF course information, degrees awarded, etc., they (and the graduate academic department) may access your student record at no cost to you.

No. UWF does not fax transcripts. However, UWF provides access to an “unofficial” transcript through the student’s online account. Current and former students use MyUWF to access the “Unofficial Transcripts."

Students can access (and print) an Unofficial Transcript at no charge from their online student account. Please see Viewing an Unofficial Transcript.

Students with holds that prevent the release of their Official Transcripts will also not be able to access their Unofficial Transcript.
