Official transcripts are prepared by Office of the University Registrar and have the University seal imprinted on them. These transcripts are typically accepted for any official transactions such as proof of degree(s), or applications for admissions to academic programmes or employment.

The degree title(s) and conferment date(s) will be reflected on the transcripts only when a student has been officially conferred.

You will receive a complimentary copy of the Official Transcript upon graduation.

Currently, complimentary issuance of electronic transcript (if applicable to the programme) will be sent together with the electronic scroll to graduates’ lifelong email account upon completion of their degree/diploma programme.  You will receive the electronic transcript in OpenCert file or Verifiable PDF or both, depending on the type of programme and graduation cohort. 

For graduates who wish to apply for electronic transcript, please refer to the Application portal at “How do I apply for an official transcript” at https://nus.edu.sg/registrar/student-records/transcripts/official-transcripts for application details.

Please click here for more information on the types of e-transcript issued.

The payments for successful applications are non-refundable. Please ensure you require an official transcript before you apply. Alternatively, current students can generate unofficial transcript, without any charge, from myEduRec.

Please read the following before you apply:

• Courses and grades of the current semester can only be reflected on the transcripts from the 11th calendar day after the day of results release. Do not apply for official transcript prior to result release or immediately after result release if you need the current semester result to be reflected in the transcript.
• No Transcript can be generated if there is a “Hold” on your record. You can log in to myEduRec to check for any “Hold(s)” and contact the relevant Office to work out the necessary rectification before you apply for official transcript.
• For all Semester 2 graduating students (i.e. you have completed all graduation requirements and will be conferred your degree on 30 June), no official transcripts will be issued from 21 to 30 June as the system is closed for graduation processing.
• A complimentary copy of the official transcript will be issued to graduates after successful conferment of their undergraduate degree or higher degree or graduate diploma programmes. It is not necessary to apply for one unless you require additional copy. 

To prove your graduating status during this period, you may generate the following documents from myEduRec:
• Student Status Letters
• Unofficial Transcript

The payments for successful applications are non-refundable. Please ensure you require an official transcript before you apply.
