Grand Canyon University will process transcripts immediately upon request; however, if you are waiting for your degree to be posted or for a certain class to show as completed, you should not request official transcripts until you are certain that these actions have occurred. Transcripts requested this way will always be physical and sent through the post office.

There are multiple ways to request your official transcript through GCU. The easiest way is through the GCU Portal.

1. Log into the GCU Portal using your GCU email address and password. Then, click the Transcript Request app in the My Apps dashboard.

   

2. Click Request Transcript to continue.
3. Select Add Recipient.
4. You will have two options for Recipient Type. Fill in the recipient information according to the type you selected and choose how many copies you would like.
   
   • Other: If you are sending your transcript to another school or an alternate party, select Other from the Recipient Type drop-down menu. Enter the recipient’s information. Once all required fields are entered, click Save. 
     NOTE Completing these steps will send a mailed paper copy of your transcript to the alternate party of your choosing. There is no way to get Official Transcripts sent through emails. Do not enter an email into the recipient address field, the request will not go through if you do.
   • Student: If you are the recipient of the transcript, select Student from the Recipient Type drop-down menu. If your address is listed in your GCU Portal, the required fields within the form will automatically fill in this information. When you click Save, the information will be stored and you will be redirected to the Add Recipient page to add more recipients or to process your request.
5. Once you have finished adding recipients to the transcript request, you can proceed with processing your request by clicking Pay on the Transcript Request page. Official Transcript request costs $8.00 per copy to process.

   

6. From the Processing Payment page, you can make any last-minute changes as needed. Read the authorization agreement and check the “I accept the above Payment Agreement” box. You can choose to enter a new credit card or use a card that is already saved to your account. Click Process to submit the transcript request or add a new credit card if needed.

    

7. After the transcript request is processed, you will receive a confirmation displaying the transcript information. Select Close to end the process or select printer friendly version to save this confirmation for your records.
