Credits earned on Temple University Study Abroad programs are recorded on standard Temple University transcripts and may be readily transferred to other institutions.
Transcripts
Transcript issuance starting with Summer 2020 programs
*for programs prior to Summer 2020, please contact us at [click-for-email]
Non-Temple students may order official Temple University transcripts via the Temple University Registrar (https://www.temple.edu/registrar/) at the conclusion of their program, showing grades and semester hours of credit earned in all courses undertaken. Fees for transcripts with standard processing are currently* as follows:
- eTranscript: $8.75
- Paper transcript: $8.75 + shipping
*As fees may change, please refer to the Registrar’s website for updated costs.
Before requesting to have an official transcript sent to your institution, you should first do the following:
- Confirm on TUportal that all of your grades are posted.
- Ensure on TUportal that there are no holds on your account (such as a financial hold due to unpaid balance on your Temple account or a disciplinary hold due to an outstanding disciplinary matter). Please contact Education Abroad if you have questions about any holds on your account.
- Verify that your home institution will accept an eTranscript before ordering one. If your home institution does not accept eTranscripts, request a paper transcript.
- Verify with your study abroad advisor the accurate and complete physical or electronic institutional mailing address where the official transcript should be sent.
Online access to academic history
Non-Temple students also receive a Temple University login username during the application process; this provides access to their academic history and grades on TUportal, the University’s central student information system.
