Transcripts and Certifications
Every official document that verifies your Purdue record, in one place. Transcripts, enrollment certifications, replacement diplomas and apostille services.
Request Official Purdue Records
You may encounter situations that require official documentation from the university verifying your enrollment and degree(s) earned. Here, you’ll find all the ways to request your official Purdue records as well as guidance for parents/guardians, alumni and third-party requestors.
Enrollment Verification
If you need to verify your enrollment — for a loan deferment, insurance coverage or another request — you can access your official enrollment certification through Myhub in your myPurdue portal. It’s available online, and most requests can be completed on your own without needing to contact our office.
Enrollment classifications for reporting purposes may differ from enrollment requirements for financial aid eligibility. State and federal financial aid regulations use separate definitions to determine enrollment level for graduate and professional students.
Order Your Official Transcript
Are you a current student? Start by reviewing your unofficial transcript to see if it meets your needs. Access your unofficial transcript anytime in myPurdue from your Transcript and Grades card — no request needed. Keep in mind that unofficial transcripts are generally not accepted by employers, graduate schools or licensing boards.
Official transcripts are ordered through National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), Purdue’s online transcript service. Visit Purdue’s National Student Clearinghouse storefront, where you can log in or create an account to order your transcript — with records available from 1968 to the present. A $10 fee applies to each transcript ordered through the National Student Clearinghouse.
This ordering process applies to current students, former students and alumni from the following locations:
- West Lafayette
- Indianapolis
- Purdue Polytechnic Statewide (all locations)
NOTE: If you are a current or former student at Purdue University Fort Wayne or Purdue University Northwest (Calumet or North Central), please contact the Registrar’s Office at your campus directly to order your official transcript.
Transcript Ordering Support
For assistance with transcript orders, order status, delivery issues or technical support, please contact NSC directly.
Phone: 1-703-742-4200
Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time
Learn more on the NSC transcript ordering help page.
Purdue Global Students
Purdue University transcript services are separate from Purdue Global (formerly Kaplan University). If you’re a current or former Purdue Global student, contact your Registrar’s Office directly to complete your request.
Apostille: Certifying Documents for International Use
An apostille is a form of certification that makes official documents valid for use in other countries. Purdue uses this process for documents submitted to institutions or agencies abroad, under the terms of the 1961 Hague Convention.
Alumni Records: Transcripts and Diplomas
Our office continues to support you after graduation. Whether you need an official transcript or a replacement diploma, learn about the steps to get what you need.
Ordering a Transcript After Graduation
After graduation, alumni no longer have access to unofficial transcripts and must order official transcripts through National Student Clearinghouse, using the same process as current students. Our Order Your Official Transcript section on this page provides step-by-step instructions.
Requesting a Duplicate or Replacement Diploma
Duplicate and replacement diplomas are available to graduates from West Lafayette, Indianapolis and Purdue Polytechnic Statewide locations only.
In keeping with national registrar standards, duplicate or replacement diplomas are issued with the current university president and chairman of the Board of Trustees’ signatures rather than the original signatories.
Understanding Your Transcript
Your official Purdue transcript is a detailed record of your academic history — and it may include terms, symbols and codes that aren’t immediately familiar. This section breaks down the information on your transcript so you can review with confidence.
Explore clear explanations of common terms, grading symbols and other notations you may encounter. Whether you’re reviewing your progress or sharing your transcript with an employer or another institution, you’ll know exactly what each entry means.
