FAQ's


What is a transcript?

A transcript is a complete history of UW-Stevens Point courses attempted and grades received. The courses are listed in semester order and your semester and cumulative grade point averages (GPA's) are shown after each term. It also shows earned degrees, majors, and minors.

What is the difference between an official and an unofficial transcript?
The main difference is that an official transcript typically reflects a higher level of authentication and a reduced opportunity for someone to alter the record. We use special safety paper and it includes the registrar's signature.  It is most acceptable as official if it goes directly from UWSP to the other school or business rather than passing through the student's hands. Some places may accept an official transcript that is given to the student in a sealed envelope if the student sends it to them unopened. Some places may even accept a faxed copy in place of an official record. You should make sure a fax is acceptable before paying the charge to have a faxed copy sent. There is a fee of $7.00 for any of the above records.

How can I get a copy of my unofficial transcripts?
You may be able to use a copy of your course history in lieu of an unofficial transcript, however, it is up to the recipient to decide whether or not they will accept it.  This is available at https://mypoint.uwsp.edu/regrec/regrec005/Default.aspx.  Students can get an unofficial transcript by coming in to the Registration and Records Office, Room 101 SSB.  It is printed on plain paper.  There is no charge for this record. Unofficial transcripts cannot be faxed. 

Can an unofficial transcript be mailed to the student?
Yes, it can.  The cost is $3.00.  Note: Most educational institutions will not accept unofficial transcripts. If you need unofficial transcripts mailed, you will have to order them through Credentials, Inc. at https//www.credentials-inc.com/tplus/?alumtr0003924/.  A credit card is required for this service.


What if I have an unofficial transcript sent and the receiving party will not accept it?  Do I have to put in another request to have an official one mailed?
Yes.  Note: Educational institutions will not accept unofficial transcripts.

 

Can an official transcript be mailed to the student?
Yes, it can.  However, it will state that the transcript was "Issued to the Student".


How long does it take for a transcript to be sent once the request is received?
Generally transcripts will be mailed one to two business days after receiving your request. Transcripts that are asked to be faxed are usually sent the same day the request is received.

If I mark "hold for grades" or "hold for degree", how long will it take for the transcript request to be processed?
Normally transcripts that are marked "hold for grades" are sent within 10 days after the last day of finals.  If you check "hold for degree", it can take up to 30 days from the end of the term.  However, your account will be billed at the time of your request.

If I want a transcript sent by Federal Express, can it be done?
Yes, but if you need transcripts expedited, you will have to order them through Credentials, Inc. at https//www.credentials-inc.com/tplus/?alumtr0003924/.  A credit card is required for this service.

Will my transcript show my GPA in my major or minor?
No. You will need to look at your degree progress report for that information. This is available on the web at: https://mypoint.uwsp.edu/regrec/regrec059/default.aspx.

Will my transcript show my class rank?
No, however, if you need your class rank you can look it up on the web at: https://mypoint.uwsp.edu/regrec/regrec001/regrec001.aspx.

What if I have my transcript faxed and the receiving party will not accept it as official?  Do I have to put in another request to have it mailed?
Yes.  Note: Most educational institutions will not accept faxed transcripts as official.


Does a transcript show courses and grades taken at other schools?
We do show certain courses and grades taken at other UW campuses and Wisconsin technical colleges.  However, this is not a complete list of courses. We do not show grades of "W", for example. For schools that are not part of these Wisconsin systems, we list only the name of the institution.


What if the address for where the transcripts are being sent is too long for the space provided?
If the address does not fit, try converting from 5 lines to 4.  For example:


University of Wisconsin-Madison
Office of Admissions
Armory & Gymnasium
716 Langdon Street
Madison, WI  53706-1481


Change to:

UW Madison-Admissions
Armory & Gymnasium
716 Langdon Street
Madison, WI  53706-1481
