Official Transcripts

Students who attended ¹û½´ÊÓƵ prior to 1982 can only request an official transcript by submitting a Transcript Request Form. Please note, it will be necessary to verify your identity before fulfilling your request. 

Current students, alumni, and former students who attended ¹û½´ÊÓƵ after 1982 can order official transcripts online via ¹û½´ÊÓƵ’s secure transcript service, . A major credit/debit card is necessary to place a transcript order. The Registrar’s Office does not provide nor mail paper official transcripts directly from our office. Paper transcripts must be ordered through and they will be mailed from their remote fulfillment center. Students are encouraged to order official electronic transcripts whenever feasible to ensure timely fulfillment and avoid delivery costs in excess of ¹û½´ÊÓƵ’s $5 transcript fee.

See the table below for pricing: 

Official transcript orders are processed Monday-Friday during normal business hours. Paper transcripts are subject to USPS and FedEx delivery timetables. Requests for official transcripts are accepted but not immediately fulfilled during end-of-semester activities in late December/early January and late May – please consult the ‘Announcements’ section of the Registrar’s homepage for more information if requesting an official transcript during those periods.  

Grades at ¹û½´ÊÓƵ information is sent with all official transcripts (electronic and print), intended to give the recipient a better understanding of the ¹û½´ÊÓƵ grading system and its comparatively modest grade inflation.

The Transcript Key is on the reverse side of an official ¹û½´ÊÓƵ transcript.

For questions concerning official transcripts, contact the Registrar’s Office at 503-777-7793 or registrar@reed.edu.

Notarized Letter
