Getting a Transcript

A transcript is a complete and official listing of the classes you have taken and the grades you received. You might need to have your transcript sent from UAB if you are applying to graduate or professional schools, transferring to another institution, or applying for a job.

• You must clear all financial obligations to UAB before your transcript can be released.
• Unofficial transcripts are transcripts issued directly to students and are marked "Issued to Student." A faxed transcript is considered unofficial.
• Official transcripts are normally mailed directly to recipients such as graduate schools, professional schools, etc. If you need an official transcript for an application packet, you must specifically ask for the transcript in a sealed envelope and provide the name of the recipient in your request. Do not open the sealed envelope when you receive it.
• Current and former UAB students (1982 and later) can request transcripts by mail, fax, or in person. Requests cannot be made by phone or e-mail. If you have a BlazerID and strong password, you may view your transcript electronically through BlazerNET.  (Former students prior to 1982 must request transcripts by mail or fax; please view the instructions below.)
