Official transcripts are the official record of all coursework, grades, and degrees conferred at UMass Amherst. Official transcripts can be delivered electronically, mailed or picked up in-person at the University Registrar’s Office on the UMass Amherst campus.
Unofficial transcripts are for informational use only and are generally not acceptable for official purposes. They do not bear the University seal or the signature of the Registrar. Unofficial transcripts are available only to UMass Amherst students who attended during or after the Spring 2002 semester.
