Official Transcripts


Official Transcripts are ordered online through the National Student Clearinghouse and processed on site at Grinnell College.

The cost is $6 per transcript using a major credit card (additional overnight fees apply: domestic $30/  international $65 per address). Credit cards will only be charged after the order has been completed. Normal processing time is 2 to 3 working days after the request is received. During peak work times, holiday breaks and end-of-term activities the processing time may be extended.

Questions concerning transcripts should be directed to the Registrar's Office (registrar@grinnell.edu). Transcripts are released only after all financial obligations to Grinnell College have been met.
