Forms, Holds, and Third-Party Requests

Forms and Identification Required by Transcript Processing Centers

A matching form or identification number is used by some transcript processing centers to match a graduate or professional school applicant's transcript with their application. Most forms or ID numbers can be submitted online with your order and delivered along with your official transcript.

Please not that the form attachment review process can take 1-3 business days.

Removing Holds on a Student Record

If you are on a hold you may not have access to order an official transcript or be able to view your grades or unofficial transcript on Path@Penn. Please note that grades and GPAs will not be disclosed over the phone, via email, or in person. Assistance with clearing a hold on your record is dependent on the type of hold. For more information about holds and how to clear them, please visit the Holds on Student Records & Accounts page.

Requesting Release of Records by Special Investigators

We strongly encourage Special Investigators and other government employees to use DoD Safe when requesting transcripts. DoD Safe links should be sent to registrar@upenn.edu. Release forms should not be directly emailed as they may contain Personal Identifiable Information (PII) such as Social Security Numbers (SSN).

If your unit does not use DoD Safe, please email registrar@upenn.edu for support.
