Rutgers Transcript Request – transcripts.rutgers.edu
Did you know that you can now request for Rutgers University transcript online? Gone are the days when you have to visit the school to apply for a Rutgers transcript. In this guide, you’ll learn how to request for Rutgers transcript online via transcript.rutgers.edu.
The University Information Services (UIS) has developed an online transcript request and management service for use by current students and alumni of the University for their academic transcript requests.
Interestingly, transcripts can be generated in the form of hardcopy for self-pickup by the applicant or courier service, as indicated by the applicant, or softcopy which is sent to the applicants provided mail. You can request both official and unofficial copy transcripts on the same system. Both types of transcripts are available through the Office of the Register.

What is an Unofficial Transcript
An unofficial transcript is a comprehensive record of your academic progress, including transfer courses, credit earned by exams, and earned degrees.
Usually, they do not bear the seal of the university and are only available to currently enrolled students of Rutgers University students.
What is an Official Transcript
An official transcript represents your academic record at Rutgers–Newark and has the official Rutgers University watermark and the signature of the registrar. Official transcripts are printed on security paper that has watermark safety mechanisms. If you photocopy, scan, or fax an official transcript, you will render the official transcripts void.
Current students, former students and alumni, and RBHS (Rutgers Biomedical & Health Sciences-former UMDNJ) students may request an official transcript at transcripts.rutgers.edu.
