An official transcript is the University's certified statement of your academic record. The official transcript is printed on security sensitive paper and contains the University seal and signature of the University Registrar. It lists courses completed and grades earned, and the semester in which they were received. The official transcript also contains notations of distinctions, majors, minors, options, and degrees received. Potential employers, graduate schools, and professional associations most typically request that the student authorizes release of an official transcript. For your protection, we will not release an official transcript without your signature. There is NO CHARGE for transcripts. You may request up to 5 transcripts per day and up to 50 transcripts per semester.
Official transcripts can be obtained by visiting our Order Transcript page and determining which order method works best for you.
An Unofficial Transcript is a print out of all work completed at the university however unlike the official it does NOT contain any security features, the University seal, or the signature of the University Registrar. Unofficial transcripts carry no significant endorsements from the University. Much like an advising transcript, this is printed on white paper. An unofficial transcript cannot be mailed, but when requested, the university will fax unofficial transcripts.
Unofficial transcripts should only be requested by students with a hold that prevents them from obtaining an Official Transcript.
Reverse transfer is a process where academic credits for applicable coursework at a university are transferred back to the community college for purposes of awarding an associate degree. In the past, most reverse transfer agreements were agreements between individual universities and community colleges, however, in 2011, the Texas Legislature approved HB 3025. Part of this house bill became Texas Education Code 61.833 (Credit Transfer for Associate Degree) which mandates universities shall request authorization from eligible students to send an official transcript to the students' previous institution to determine whether the student may qualify to be awarded an associate degree.
Upon application to Texas A&M University-Commerce, students will be able to authorize this reverse transfer agreement.
An advising transcripts is intended for academic advising, on-campus use. Currently enrolled students may obtain a copy of their advising transcript, without charge, by using myLeo, or by presenting a picture ID at the Registrar's Office. You will not be allowed to collect an advising transcript from MyLeo if you have "Holds" on your account. Advising transcripts contain the same information found on an official transcript, however the advising transcript is not certified by the Registrar's Office as a complete and accurate record of the University. The advising transcript is presented directly to the student, on plain white paper and may be duplicated.
The Registrar's Office will not mail advising transcripts to any third party regardless of permission from the student.
An Apostille is a form of certification "to abolish the requirement of diplomatic or consular legalization for foreign public documents". In Texas, the Texas Secretary of State is the authority that issues Apostilles. The Apostille is the certification by the Texas Secretary of State that the Notary Public has a valid commission to act on the state’s behalf as a Notary Public.
