Explanation of Official Transcripts & Academic History Reports
Official Transcript: An official transcript bears the seal of the University and is sent directly to a third party in a sealed envelope. Any official transcript going directly to the student will be stamped “Issued to Student.” There is a fee for each official transcript requested.
A UT Knoxville transcript is a complete record of a student's enrollment at UT Knoxville, including all undergraduate, graduate, and professional courses. Partial transcripts are not available.
Academic History Report: The Academic History Report is another version of the transcript and is intended for internal (UT) use only. It is not an official document. It includes information not found on the transcript that is helpful for advising (e.g., g.p.a. information, semester and home addresses, standardized test scores, high school attended and high school grade point average, etc). We do not mail academic histories. There is no charge for academic histories.
We process transcript requests within 24 hours of receiving them. In order to be sure that we mail your attachment with your transcript, please fax your attachment to us as soon as you order your transcript.
NOTE: If you are applying to the Graduate School at UT Knoxville, you are not required to submit an official UT transcript to Graduate Admissions. The Graduate School will obtain your UT Knoxville record.
