Transcript Requests
During grading periods, transcripts will be held until all grades are posted.
Your authorization is required in order to release your transcript records. You can do this electronically via the web, on paper via mail or fax, or in person in Lyons Hall. Requests received via the web are faster, easier, and more secure. There is no charge for transcripts.
Requesting a Transcript via the Web
• Current Students or Employees with Access to the Agora Portal
Current students and employees can request an academic transcript through their Agora Portal at portal.bc.edu. Log on to your Agora Portal, and click on "My Services" and then on "Transcript Request and Status." Review the information on the screen, add any additional information, and submit your request. Your request will be received immediately and processed as soon as possible. Use the status tracking page to follow your request. Your password acts as the authorization to release your record.
Note: Transcripts are provided to students and alumni free of charge, with one exception. Charges apply only if FedEx is selected as the mode of delivery. If you choose FedEx as your delivery option, you must complete the transcript request form and then call the Office of Student Services at 800-294-0294 with your credit card information from 9:00 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; from 9:00 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. on Wednesday; and on Friday during the summer from 9:00 a.m. until 2:45 p.m. Credit card information must be received by 2:00 p.m. to guarantee next business day delivery.
