Official Transcripts are printed on security paper and display the entire academic history of a student at UCSB. They may be ordered from the Office of the Registrar for a charge of $13 per copy. Transcripts are sent first class via U.S. mail. The Office of the Registrar takes responsibility for handling transcript requests in a prompt and efficient manner. However, we are not responsible for mishandling by the U.S. Post Office or the receiving school or agency. Replacement copies cannot be issued without payment of the normal transcript fee.

Please note: The Office of the Registrar will be closed:

• November 11th
• November 27th and 28th
• December 24th and 25th
• December 31st and January 1st.
  
  

Current students or those with an active BARC account can order Official Transcripts by accessing the GOLD system. The $13 fee will be billed to the student’s BARC account when ordered through GOLD. Transcripts will not be released if the student has outstanding financial obligations to the university. It currently takes 3-4 working days to process a standard transcript request.
