Transcripts and Diplomas

The official transcript is Gallaudet University's official statement of your academic record. It lists all courses (completed & currently enrolled) and all grades earned, along with the applicable semester. The official transcript also contains notations of majors, minors, degrees and graduation honors received.

For your protection, we will not release an official transcript without your permission and signature. The official transcript is printed on security sensitive paper and contains the University Seal and the signature of the University Registrar.
