Official Transcripts

Your official transcript is maintained by the State University of New York at Geneseo and is bound by FERPA (Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974). Transcripts submitted to the State University of New York at Geneseo from other institutions for admission or credit become property of the State University of New York at Geneseo and will not be returned to the student or forwarded to other institutions under any circumstances. Students in need of these external transcripts must request them from the individual institutions they have attended.

SUNY Geneseo has appointed Parchment (link to order below) as the designated agent for processing and sending official electronic transcripts on behalf of SUNY Geneseo; official printed transcripts are still available for ordering as well. The PDF transcript that is produced using this service contains the identical information as the printed transcript and can be certified as unaltered by uploading the file to the company's website that is provided during the delivery process. Parchment has been granted the authority to deliver all such electronic transcript requests on behalf of SUNY Geneseo and respond to any inquiries regarding the transactions. If you need assistance, you can contact Parchment.

If you want your transcript to be sent out immediately, we strongly recommend the PDF option, as it is emailed directly to the recipient within a couple of hours. You'll simply need to provide the following information:

• Student info
• Order options
• Recipients (This is the crucial step for PDFs. Click the “enter recipient manually” radio button. In the drop-down menu for “this recipient is,” you have to choose “a business or other third party.” Fill in the physical address of the recipient and it will ask for the email address.)
• Summary (will show what you are ordering)
• Payment (enter your payment information)

Study Abroad Transcript Supplement: Use the "Order a Transcript" directions provided below.  Students who studied abroad at a partner university/institution will be prompted to request their study abroad transcript supplement, which will travel along with their SUNY Geneseo official transcript.  The study abroad transcript supplement displays the courses taken at the partner university/institution, the letter grade earned, and the number of credits.  The study abroad transcript supplement is the official academic record of a student's study abroad program.

Apostille Transcript: An Apostille is an official document authenticated for international use. Apostille diplomas and transcripts are generally needed only for verification by international institutions; the Apostille will be requested explicitly by the foreign institution.  If you have been informed by your international university/employer that you require an Apostille transcript, please email us at records@geneseo.edu so that we can help you get started.
