TRANSCRIPTS

There are three ways to order a transcript: in-person, by mail or via web (NOT by telephone, email or Fax). "Official" transcripts are mailed to other colleges or employers. Transcripts mailed to students/alumni are labeled "Unofficial".

There is a $7.00 fee for all transcripts, whether official or unofficial, except for those going directly to a CUNY college (these are free). Transcript requests take approximately ten working days to process.

Students ordering a transcript in-person must first go to the Bursars’ Office to pay the fee. If you are paying with a check or money order it should be made out to LaGuardia Community College and include your social security number/CUNY issued ID number.

By mail:
Write a letter requesting an Official or Unofficial Transcript. State your full name, social security number, approximate dates of attendance at LaGuardia, and a complete address (and name of recipient if known) of where to send the transcript. Be sure to sign the letter.

Send the letter to: LaGuardia Community College, 31-10 Thomson Avenue, Long Island City NY 11101
Att: Registrar Services, Room C-107
or download and printout the form at www.laguardia.edu/registrar

By Web:
Students, graduates and former students may request two types of transcripts: unofficial student copies and official copies.
  • Unofficial Student Transcripts:
    Unofficial transcripts are copies that a student may request for his or her own records. To view and/or print an unofficial student transcript online, please visit eSIMS.
  • Official Transcripts:
    Official transcripts are sent directly to other colleges and employers. It is the policy of Laguardia Community College NOT to issue official copies of transcripts directly to students. No official transcripts will be sent to a student's home address. Only a student copy of the transcript may be sent.

Ordering A Transcript

You may obtain an official copy of your academic transcript with a college seal and signature of the Registrar in three ways:

  1. Online:
    Official and student copies may be ordered online. LaGuardia Community College has retained Credentials Inc. to accept transcript orders over the Internet. If you do not have access to the Internet, call Credentials Inc. at 800-646-1858. Students ordering over the Internet will receive official and unofficial (student copy) transcripts within 5 to 7 working days.

    The regular transcript fee charged by LaGuardia is $7.00 per transcript. There is an additional fee of $1.75 for use of the online service resulting in a total cost per transcript of $8.75. Transcripts sent to colleges in the CUNY system are FREE. Only the $1.75 online service charge per transcript will be charged.

    To order a transcript online, please have ready your:

    • Student ID # (Social security number)
    • Birth date
    • Telephone number
    • Valid major credit card (Visa, Master Card, or Discover/Novus)
    • Name and address of the party the transcript will be sent to.

    Remember, a transcript request cannot be processed with any "stops" on the student's record (i.e. Bursar, Library, Financial Aid, etc.).

  2. In Person:
    In-person transcript requests are processed in the Enrollment Services Center in LaGuardia's "C" building located at 29-10 Thomson Avenue, Rm. C-107. Hours are Monday-Thursday from 9:00AM to 7:00PM. To obtain transcripts in person, follow these steps:
    1. Visit the LaGuardia Bursar's Office payment window in the lower level of the "M" building at 31-10 Thompson Avenue and pay for all transcript copies first. Bursar window hours are posted here. The regular transcript fee charged by LaGuardia is $7.00 per transcript. The Bursar accepts cash, check or money orders (payable to LaGuardia Community College). The Bursar will issue a transcript payment receipt to confirm your purchase. Transcripts sent to colleges in the CUNY system are FREE.
      NOTE: If the Bursar's payment window is closed, the Enrollment Services Center will accept transcript payments by check or money order only (No Cash).
    2. Visit the Enrollment Services Center's Process & Pickup Desk in LaGuardia's "C" building located at 29-10 Thomson Avenue, Rm. C-107 and request a transcript form for each transcript recipient. Present a transcript payment receipt and a valid photo ID to the ESC staff.
    3. Fill out the request forms completely and legibly.
    4. ESC Staff will then accept completed forms for processing. In-person unofficial transcript requests are usually filled while you wait, but there may be a 1-2 hour wait during busy periods.
    5. Please note: "Official" transcripts are NOT issued directly to students unless documentation is shown to ESC staff (ie: employment or education application) that allows hand delivery of the transcript by the applicant. Official transcripts will then be released in a sealed envelope. Official transcript requests that are to be sent directly to recipients will be processed in the order received and are mailed to the requestor within 5 to 7 working days from the date submitted.

  3. By Mail:
    Print a copy of the transcript request form from a computer to a local printer. Please print a copy of the transcript request form for each transcript recipient:
