There are two types of transcripts:
- An unofficial transcript with the School of Law Registrar’s signature
- An official transcript in a sealed envelope from the main campus Registrar’s Office
When an employer requests a law school transcript, an unofficial transcript is usually sufficient (unless the employer specifies “official transcript”). A transcript printed from the web is not sufficient.
Unofficial law school transcripts may be obtained from the School of Law Office of the Registrar. Students may make requests for transcripts in person or via fax or e-mail. The request should include the following information:
- Student name
- Term last attended
- Social security number
- Date of birth
- Address
- Signature
There is no charge for unofficial transcripts, and the process usually takes three to five days. Most employers allow students to submit photocopies of transcripts, so to save time, students can order one copy of their transcripts and make multiple copies of it to fulfill employer requests.
Official transcripts in a sealed envelope (necessary for bar exam applications) may be ordered from the main campus Registrar’s Office. Students may make their requests in person or via mail (fax and e-mail requests are not accepted). Your request should include the same information as a request for an unofficial transcript, along with a statement that the transcript should be sealed. The fee for this transcript is $2 for the first copy and $1 for each additional copy requested at the same time. The fee should be in the form of check or money order payable to the University of Dayton and should be included with your request.
