Transcripts

A transcript is a representation of a student’s entire academic record while at Johnson & Wales University. In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a transcript may be released only upon written request of the student. Students must submit transcript requests online through jwuLink . Students intending to pick up transcripts in person must visit Student Academic & Financial Services or complete a Transcript Request Form .

Official transcripts will not be released if a student has not fulfilled all financial obligations to the university. Within 3 business days of receipt of an authorized request, official transcripts will be processed. However, a longer period of time may be required for processing at the end of a term or during peak enrollment periods. Records prior to 2000 may be located on microfilm; if applicable, please allow 5–15 business days for processing. 

A maximum of 20 official transcripts may be requested per year. Official transcripts are not produced while grade processing and posting is in progress at the end of each term.

Unofficial transcripts may be obtained in jwuLink.
