Transcripts
Do you need a copy of your USF transcript? We can help you obtain one, whether you’re a current student or a former student, including recent graduates. Use the information on this page to guide you. If you still have questions, please contact us or visit our FAQ page.
Please note, you will not be able to request an official transcript if you have any holds on your account preventing the release of transcripts. You can check your holds in Student Self-Service by signing and going to Student > Student Profile > Holds.
USF Health and Former New College Students
Attention: USF Health and Former New College Students
Official transcripts for students who previously attended New College of USF (1975-2001) must be requested directly from New College of Florida.
Official and unofficial transcripts for students who participated in the Doctor of Medicine, Doctor of Pharmacy, Doctor of Physical Therapy, Transitional Doctor of Physical Therapy, or the Master of Physician Assistant Studies programs through USF Health must be requested through USF Health's Transcript Portal.
Current Student
To request a transcript, log in to your Student Self-Service account. Once you’re logged in, navigate to Request Official Transcript under Student Record.

U.S. Armed Forces Transcript Waiver
In keeping with enacted Florida Bill 171, the University of South Florida will waive the transcript fee for a person who is active duty or honorably discharged veteran of the United States Armed Forces and his or her spouse and dependents.
If you believe you qualify under these categories, please complete the Transcript Request form, and submit it via email to USFTranscript@usf.edu using the subject line "U.S. Armed Forces Transcript Waiver."
Ordering an Unofficial Transcript
Students who complete at least one term at USF can access unofficial transcripts through Florida Shines. To access your transcript, visit the site, select “Check Now” under the transcript section and choose “University of South Florida” from the drop-down menu. You’ll sign in with your USF NetID and password. There is no cost for current students to access an unofficial transcript.
Important Unofficial Transcript Information
- Unofficial transcripts are only available to current students and students who still have access to myUSF. If you are unable to log in to Student Self-Service or Florida Shines directly, you must request an official transcript through the National Student Clearinghouse.
- The Office of the Registrar cannot provide a student with a copy of their unofficial transcript; currently, unofficial transcripts are only available through Florida Shines.
- Unofficial transcripts cannot replace an official transcript in instances that specifically ask for an official transcript (admission to another institution, application for employment, etc.).
- Unofficial transcripts are clearly marked "unofficial" and are not digitally certified.
Former Students and Alumni
Degree Certified Transcripts - Recent Graduates
Transcripts with degree statements are available approximately six weeks after grades are visible on Student Self-Service regardless of whether you participate in Commencement. You may request a final official transcript with the degree statement once you have received an email confirmation that your degree has been awarded. Please ensure you review your Student Self-Service account to confirm there are no holds that may prevent the release of your credentials.

Sending Transcripts
If you need to send a transcript to another institution, you can choose that option when you order through the National Student Clearinghouse. You can send either electronically or by physical mail.
- USF uses the FASTER/SPEEDE electronic transcript transfer system when possible, if
the recipient institution accepts transcript that way. Place these requests through
the National Student Clearinghouse as well.
- On the “Available Credentials” screen, select the “Official Transcript” order option. On the “Set Delivery Destination” page, use the search feature to find your intended recipient.
- If they accept FASTER/SPEEDE, the default delivery method should be listed as “Electronic.” If the only option available is a physical transcript, it will be sent through the mail.
- If you’re sending a transcript to the Florida Department of Education, transcripts are sent via FASTER/SPEEDE as long as that option is selected via the search feature as described. Find them under “Florida Dept of Education Certification.”
- Note: If you’re on the “Select Transcript and Delivery Details” screen and don’t see your intended recipient when using the search feature, choose either the “Employer or Other” or “Myself” options to go to the screen where you enter the recipient’s information manually.
Order Status/Pickup
If you’ve already ordered your transcript, you can monitor its status on the National Student Clearinghouse Transcript Order Status page. Please note processing times vary depending on how the transcript is requested:
- Electronic delivery: Up to three (3) business days for processing and delivery
- Printed/mailed standard domestic delivery: Up to three (3) business days for processing; up to 10 days for delivery via the U.S. Postal Service

If you’re picking up your transcript in person, visit the Office of the Registrar at USF Tampa. Make sure you have your official photo ID and check our office hours before coming. If someone else needs to pick up your order, add their legal name in the pick-up section of your transcript order form. They will also need to provide official photo ID at pick up.
