Official Transcript Ordering Options:

Providence College currently offers multiple options for ordering and delivering official transcripts for current and former students. There is only a charge for the E-Transcripts, which are provided by the National Student Clearinghouse and have a service charge of $3.90 per recipient.

Option 1 – E-Transcript 
Providence College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to provide our current and former students with a 24/7 transcript ordering service. Please see the NSC website for transcript ordering instructions. After submitting your NSC E-Transcript request, you can track the status using your order number: NSC Transcript Order Status.
Please Note: E-Transcript Delivery is ONLY available to students enrolled after 1988.

(LSAC, AMCAS, or SOPHAS: Please utilize the National Student Clearinghouse (Option 1 above) to request transcripts for these organizations. When submitting your request, select an Educational Organization (rather than a school option), then select (other) for FERPA compliance, then LSAC, AMCAS or SOPHAS – additional choices will appear below the selection for you to enter your account numbers. No additional form is needed for these transcript requests through the Clearinghouse Exchange delivery option. If attaching any documents to your request, please ensure that they can be read when printed and that they have been signed, if required.)

Option 2 – CyberFriar
Current Students: Log in to CyberFriar (Banner ID and Password are necessary), go to Student Services, and then Advising Gateway. Here you may view your Unofficial Transcript, request an emailed Unofficial Transcript (PDF), or request a sealed Official Transcript. Transcripts may be mailed out, or picked up at the Office of the Registrar.
