Transcripts, Academic Records and Diplomas

Palo Alto University has given the National Student Clearinghouse authorization to provide transcript ordering via the web. To order official transcript login to the National Student Clearinghouse.

Official Transcripts are $6. When placing your transcript order through the Clearinghouse, you will select Palo Alto University, you will need to enter either your student id# or social security # (both fields are shown, but only one is required for your order). Proceed to fill in the rest of the required information.

The NSC site walks you through placing your order, including delivery options offered by PAU. You can order and pay online for as many transcripts as you like in a single session. No need to enter your payment information more than once.

Everyone must complete the Consent to Release form to ensure confidentiality and to comply with federal regulations when using the internet to authenticate yourself. Your order will not be complete until this form has been signed electronically online, or printed, signed and faxed back to the Clearinghouse to the number shown. Forms need to be faxed to the Clearinghouse and not to PAU.

If you order the transcript through a mobile or device other than a computer or laptop, you will not be able to sign electronically, but rather follow the instructions provided to sign and fax in the form to NSC. Once your transcript order is completed, you will receive an Order Confirmation number. Make a note of this number, as it may be needed for you to follow up on your order. An email will be sent to you, once your transcript has been sent.

If you need help or have questions about the National Student Clearinghouse's transcript ordering service, contact them via e-mail at transcripts@studentclearinghouse.org or phone 703-742-7791.

The National Student Clearinghouse provides online ordering service for Palo Alto University students and alumni 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Orders are processed by the PAU Registrar's Office within a few business days after being placed, except for those accounts with holds, or orders requiring release after grades post.
