The official transcript is the complete record of all academic work attempted at Virginia Tech, regardless of degree status or program level. The university does not produce official transcripts with individual courses, terms, or program levels.
Virginia Tech has partnered with the National Student Clearinghouse to provide 24/7 online transcript ordering services. Official transcripts may be ordered for electronic delivery, first class mail, or for pick up at the Office of the University Registrar.
Cost: $15.00 per transcript (includes applicable processing fees)
Payment can be made only with a credit/debit card. If you do not have a credit/debit card you will need to purchase a pre-paid payment card to complete your transaction.
Transcripts will not be furnished to any student who has a financial hold on their account. The 1988 Virginia Debt Collection Act, Section 2.1-735, prohibits release of transcripts to any individual who owes a past due debt to a state agency.
There is no software installation for anyone ordering an electronic transcript. A copy of the free Adobe Reader 9 or higher must be installed on the recipient's computer. The recipient has two options to retain the transcript:

Notarized Transcript Request:
Physical Virginia Tech transcripts can be notarized by the university at no additional cost. Note that an electronic transcript cannot be notarized. Follow the below steps for a seamless ordering and notarization process. A transcript already in the possession of the student cannot be notarized.
Apostille: Notarization is the first step to acquire an Apostille from the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Virginia Tech can only assist with the notarization step. The responsibility of submitting the Apostille request to the Secretary of the Commonwealth lies with the student or authorized third party facilitator.
You have the option to designate a third party to pickup your official transcript order if ordering a paper copy. Please complete the "Authorization to Pick Up Official Documents" form found here.
