Transcripts

A Record of Achievement

A transcript is a record of student achievement at the University of Washington and classes taken at any UW campus will appear on one transcript. The University of Washington has partnered with Parchment to accept and process orders for official transcripts for all three UW campuses. Students, former students, and alumni are able to order official transcripts 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. Official transcripts can be sent electronically or mailed in hard-copy format.

Sales Tax on Credential Requests

Sales tax is collected on certain document requests, including transcripts and diplomas, in compliance with federal, state, and local tax laws. This may affect the total cost of your request based on various factors such as document type, delivery method, and location. Before completing your order, you will be provided with a breakdown of all charges, including applicable taxes, to ensure total transparency.

Student Record Name on Transcript

Official transcripts display the same name that is associated with your Student Record Name in the University’s student database (SDB). Please keep this in mind while entering your information when placing your order on Parchment. Be sure to include any previous names if you have changed your name since attending UW.

The name that appears on your unofficial transcript in MyUW is what will appear on your official transcript from Parchment.
To update your Student Record Name in SDB so it appears on your official transcript, please refer to the University’s Name Change Process.

Student Name in other Systems

Students with a different name on file with the Alumni Association or another UW organization, or in case of current or previous UW employment (including student employment), the name that displays on your MyUW Profile and the transcript ordering page may be different than what is in the student database.

While placing a transcript order, please provide as much information as possible to assist in locating records, such as:

Approximate dates of attendance
Other names (e.g., maiden, married, name changes)

Unofficial Transcript – before 1983

Students who attended prior to 1983 and are seeking an unofficial transcript, these documents cannot be obtained via Parchment and cannot be emailed. Please contact the Registration Team for assistance with requesting your unofficial transcripts.

Special Service Requests

Transcript Order Holds

Students may request a transcript order be held until grades or degrees have posted. However, students are encouraged to check their unofficial transcript prior to placing an order with Parchment to:

Verify grades have posted from recent quarter(s)
Verify a degree has been awarded and its conferral date
Verify grade changes have been posted

The Office of the University Registrar will not authorize a reprint or reorder, for free, of official transcripts because of a failure to do so.

Transcript Matching Forms

Students sending their transcripts to application services such as AMCAS, LSAC, NCARB, SOPHAS, AACOMAS or other professional certification, examination, and licensing agencies will be able to provide any application service ID or upload required forms while ordering through Parchment. Parchment provides a list of established agencies to select from within the order form.

Parchment Customer Support

Parchment representatives are available from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. (PST), Monday-Friday, to answer questions or help with ordering transcripts.

UW PCE Academic Records

Students who were only enrolled in non-credit/clock hour coursework or completed a certificate through UW Professional and Continuing Education (PCE) and Continuum College will not have a transcript record. An unofficial record of continuing education courses is available (UW NetID required). Official copies may be obtained by contacting the UW PCE Records Office.

Emergency Contacts

The University of Washington collects emergency contact information to support student safety and ensure timely communication during serious or unexpected situations. All students are required to designate two emergency contacts, so the University can reach appropriate individuals if urgent circumstances arise, such as a significant illness, injury, or other critical event.

Students are responsible for providing accurate and up-to-date information for each emergency contact, including full name, email address, phone number, and relationship. Students are encouraged to inform their designated contacts, so they are aware they may be contacted by the University in an emergency.

How Emergency Contact Information Is Used

Emergency contact information is used only when necessary to respond to emergency situations involving a student. Access to this information is restricted to authorized University personnel and handled in accordance with University privacy standards.

This information is not used for routine communications, marketing, or non-emergency purposes.

How to Update Emergency Contacts

Students can review and update their emergency contact information at any time through MyUW. Keeping this information current helps ensure the University can quickly contact the right individuals when it matters most.

Returning Student Process

Welcome Back to the University of Washington!

The Returning Student Process is designed for undergraduate or professional-level students wishing to return to the University of Washington.

The following steps will guide you through the process to reactivate your student account and prepare you to register for a future quarter. Once you have submitted your Returning Student Request Form, you’ll be able to clear any holds you may have on your registration, and then confirm your intention to enroll through the Enrollment Confirmation System.

Returning Student Eligibility

You are eligible to submit a Returning Student Request form to return to the University of Washington if any of the following apply to you:

Do not attend for two or more consecutive quarters (excluding summer quarter), OR
Completely withdraw from one quarter and do not attend the following quarter (excluding summer quarter), AND
Have not obtained a degree in the last enrolled student category, either from the University of Washington or from another institution.

The ability to return as a student to the University of Washington is granted at the discretion of the University.

Eligibility Factors

Factors that may be considered when reviewing a returning student request include, but are not limited to:

space availability in the major in which you were previously enrolled
activities during the period in which you were not enrolled
prior disciplinary action

Complete Five Steps to Return to UW

Complete and submit the Returning Student Request Form. We’ll collect your current contact information and additional data that we need to reactivate your student account.

This form is only for undergraduate and professional students who have not completed their UW degree.

Do not complete this form if you:

have already graduated
are a Graduate student
are a Non-Matriculated student

Returning Student Request Form

Watch for an email from your campus registration team confirming that your Returning Student Request Form has been processed.

University of Washington: regoff@uw.edu
University of Washington Tacoma: reguwt@uw.edu
University of Washington Bothell: uwbreg@uw.edu

Once you have been notified that your Returning Student Request Form has been processed you will receive an email prompting you to confirm your enrollment for the returning quarter you indicated.

After you receive an offer to return, log in to MyUW and check on any holds that may prevent you from registering. These could be placed on your account for tuition and fees still owed from a prior quarter, behavioral holds, departmental holds related to satisfactory academic progress, or any other holds associated with blocking registration until you take the required action.

We encourage you to resolve whatever registration holds might be on your account before proceeding to Step Five.

To prepare for your transition to campus, meet with your academic adviser to plan your class schedule for your return quarter. Remember to check Register.UW for information about registering for classes.

When you are ready, confirm your enrollment for the quarter you wish to return to UW.

You will be required to pay a non-refundable Enrollment Confirmation Fee:

UW Bothell	UW Seattle	UW Tacoma
$60	$80	$60

Completing the Enrollment Confirmation step is required before you will be allowed to register and to continue your studies.

Residency Alert

Be advised that students returning to the University of Washington may not necessarily be readmitted under their previous residency classification. It is highly suggested that after you register for classes you check your tuition statement to ensure the tuition rate and fees are charged correctly. Students should be prepared to complete any necessary application and documents required to correct their classification with the Residency Office.
