New to the Office of the University Registrar

• Beginning February 7, 2012, current students and graduates of most schools (class of 1988 or later**) will have the option to order official transcripts through Penn In Touch for fast, secure delivery in the form of a certified electronic file.  (**This service is not available at all for students/alumni of the Medical School; students/alumni of the Dental School prior to 2000 and students/alumni of the Veterinary School prior to 2001).

• UPENN has contracted with Avow Systems, Inc. to distribute secure official transcripts via certified PDF. The distribution process through Avow Systems, Inc. automatically validates to recipients that a transcript was authored and sent by The University of Pennsylvania and that the contents have not been altered. 

• Electronic delivery is the easiest, most secure and environmentally friendly way to obtain an official copy of the transcript. 

• The typical electronic delivery will occur within a few minutes, much faster than the standard processing time of two business days plus mailing time.

• The electronic option is being provided in response to the growing demand from students, alumni, employers and other universities for the change.

The order form is saved in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format, and is viewable with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded at no charge.

Current students and graduates of most schools (class of 1988 or later** with the exception of any students of the Medical School; Dental School prior to 2000 and Veterinary School prior to 2001), can use Penn InTouch to place orders and pay for transcripts using a Visa or MasterCard.  In addition, currently enrolled students who are eligible to make purchases using their PennCard will also be able to charge their orders to their Student Billing Account. To place an order, login to Penn InTouch and select ‘Order transcripts’ under ‘Academic records’ on the left hand menu.

If you are an alumnus (Class of 1988 or later with the exception of any students of the Medical School; Dental School prior to 2000 and Veterinary School prior to 2001) and wish to place an order through Penn In Touch but have forgotten your password, you can use the PennKey-ASAP automated online request system exclusively for Penn Alumni. The system will assist you in obtaining a PennKey Setup Code via email and allow you update your forgotten password at the PennKey registration website.
