Transcript Requests

Official Transcripts

Official transcripts are documents provided directly from Richard Bland College of William & Mary to the recipient; they bear the college seal and the signature of the Director of Records & Registration. Official transcripts at RBC are printed on official transcript paper, issued in a sealed envelope, and rendered unofficial if the seal on the envelope is broken. Some institutions will not accept a hand-delivered transcript as official; instead, it must be mailed directly from Richard Bland College. You should check the policy of the receiving institution before you decide to hand-deliver your transcripts.

You will need an official transcript if you are planning to transfer your classes to another college. You may also need an official transcript if you are registering with a state examination board, or when you apply for a scholarship or a job. In most cases, the requestor will tell you if the transcript must be official.

Per Va Code § 23.1-900.2, no public institution of higher education shall condition the release of an academic transcript to a student currently or formerly enrolled at such institution on the payment of an outstanding debt if:

Such outstanding debt is less than $500;
Such outstanding debt is less than $1,000 and such currently or formerly enrolled student received a Federal Pell Grant at any time during his enrollment; or
Such currently or formerly enrolled student has enrolled in a repayment plan and has made at least three consecutive monthly payments on such outstanding debt.
