Transcript Request Instructions

General information

New College of Florida transcripts must be requested through the Office of the Registrar.
All transcripts are official, and should be requested so that they are sent directly to the recipient. If you need a transcript sent to you in order to include with other information (such as an application packet), you must indicate this on your request.
The transcript bears a legend on the reverse side. The legend explains the New College academic program, absence of grades and credit hours, selection criteria for admission, accreditation, and honors status.
Narrative evaluations are not included with transcripts, nor are they ever translated into grades or grade point averages.
Transcripts are usually processed within 48 hours after receipt of the request (if received before 3:00 P.M.) except during peak processing periods.

Payment Information

The first two transcripts requested after August 26th, 2002 will be provided free of charge. All subsequent transcripts will be provided at a fee of $5.00 each. Requests received without payment will not be processed.
Payment for appropriate amount must be enclosed with all requests. Make check payable to New College of Florida. Payments may also be made by Visa, Master Card, or Discover. We are unable to accept American Express. Payment by credit card can be made directly on the Transcript Request Form.
Requests cannot be processed until all financial obligations to New College of Florida have been satisfied. Please contact the Cashier's Office at (941) 487-4625 to resolve any pending financial holds.

Requests may also be faxed to (941) 487-4478. However, faxed requests must be paid by credit card, as the payment must accompany the request.
Federal law requires a signed authorization for release of your records. Therefore, telephone, verbal, or email requests for transcripts are not accepted.
The Office of the Registrar cannot process transcripts which are not received properly, are illegible, or are not completely filled out.
We are unable to contact the student to confirm reception of transcript requests. If you would like to confirm that a transcript request was received properly and completely, our phone number is:

(941) 487-4230
Monday to Friday
8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.

Delivery of Transcripts

Transcripts are sent by first class U.S. postal mail service at no additional cost to the requestor. Any delivery means, except for the first class U.S. postal service, that incurs a payment will be arranged for and paid for by the student. If you are interested in having your transcript sent by a different delivery service, please call the Office of the Registrar to inform of arrangements.
You may also request that the transcript be held in the Office of the Registrar for pick-up. If the transcript will be picked up by someone other than you, you will need to write the person's name on the request form. The individual will need to show appropriate picture identification (e.g. valid driver's license) in order for the transcript to be released.
Transcripts that are picked up by the requestor, or designee, will be provided in a sealed and stamped envelope. If you intend to forward this transcript to a third party, please bear in mind that by opening it, you may run the risk of the transcript not being accepted by the third party as an official document.
The Office of the Registrar does not fax or email transcripts, even if the recipient is the requestor.
