Transcript Request Procedure
Official transcripts
are issued by the University Registrar's Office and bear the
University seal and Registrar signature. The cost for an
official transcript is $8.00. Official transcripts are not
processed if the student has an outstanding obligation,
financial, or otherwise. Currently enrolled students can obtain
an unofficial transcript through
TALON. Third party
requests will not be accepted.
Note: If you are not currently
enrolled but were at student at UW-L at one time, you still have access to
TALON
and can still request
an official transcript.
ON-LINE
Transcripts can be ordered via the
Internet 24/7 through the National Student Clearinghouse. You
can place as many orders as you like in one session using any
major credit card. Your card will only be charged after your
order has been completed. Order updates will be emailed to you.
You can also track your order online using your email address
and order number.
Your signed consent may be required to fulfill your transcript
order. For your convenience, a consent form will be generated
for your order that you can return to the Clearinghouse
via fax, mail or as a scanned email attachment.
Orders placed after 9:30am Central Time will be processed the
following business day by the University Registrar's Office. To

Note: All transcripts sent to the students are stamped "issued to student". Not all institutions (colleges, employers, scholarship funds, etc.) will accept these transcripts even if they are in sealed envelopes. It is up to the student to verify with the receiving institution if transcripts need to be sent directly from UW-L to them. Many institutions require transcripts be sent directly from UW-L to their institution to be considered official.
