Types of Transcripts
Most transcripts can be requested by contacting the Registrar’s office of your previous universities. Boise State requires transcripts from all higher education institutions you have attended.
- Electronic transcripts are considered official when received from a secure site (e.g., Clearinghouse, Parchment) properly linked to the sending institution.
- Paper transcripts are considered official when they arrive in a sealed and stamped envelope with all security features intact.
- Transcripts received in any other condition, such as unsealed envelopes or those emailed/uploaded by the student, are not official.
