All transcripts must be requested by the student. No transcripts are provided automatically. Information regarding how to request an official transcript can be found on our website.
Electronic transcripts should be delivered within one full business day following the submission of the request. If it has not been received within that window, please contact our office and please be ready to provide your order number.
If the transcript was sent directly to a third party (e.g., university, employer), we can send a duplicate copy at no charge if two weeks have passed since the first copy was sent. If the transcript was addressed to the student directly, the student will have to submit a new request, including payment. If the first transcript is returned to us as undeliverable, we will refund the student for that copy.
Paper transcripts are sent via first class mail and do not include tracking information. Electronic transcripts are sent shortly after they are authorized by our office. If you requested your transcript via the TranscriptsPlus system, notifications will be sent to the email address you provided on the first page of the order form. All requests require a minimum of one full business day to process.
UIS does not issue printed unofficial transcripts. If you still have access to your UIS account, you may log into Student Self-Service (https://apps.uillinois.edu/), go to “Home Page,” and then “View Academic History.” On that screen, you should be able to view/print your unofficial transcript. Please be aware that the “View Academic History” option will not be available if the student has outstanding holds.
Yes, UIS does not withhold transcripts or diplomas due to holds on a student's account.
No. Students can only participate in the commencement in which they are first eligible (based upon the term for which the student submitted an online graduation application). Students cannot participate in more than one ceremony for the same degree program. Therefore, if you were eligible to participate in a previous year’s commencement, you are ineligible to participate this year.
You can submit a Change of Curriculum Form using Student Self-Service. Please see the Change of Curriculum Form Instructions (pdf) if you have any questions regarding the completion of the form.
