How to Order an Official Transcript
ONLINE ORDER
Washington State University has retained Credentials Inc. to accept transcript orders over the Internet. Transcripts ordered through Credentials Inc. are available for pick up or via USPS mail/FEDEX or can be delivered as an Electronic Transcript. If you need assistance with a transcript order, please call Credentials Customer Service at 847-716-3005. If you are uncomfortable placing an order over the Internet, please call Credentials Customer Service at 847-716-3005 to place your transcript request.

Official transcripts are not held for grades or degrees. Current students should verify the status of final grades or degrees by reviewing their unofficial transcript prior to ordering an official transcript. For instructions on how to view an unofficial transcript go to the Registrar's web site and in the “myWSU FAQs for Students” section select “How to View Unofficial Transcripts”.
