A printed official transcript may be requested from:

The first official printed transcript EVER requested is free. The fee for each additional official printed transcript is $5.00. A check should be made out to Shepherd University. Please do not send cash.
(Note: All RAIL requests for official transcripts require a credit card payment of $5 for normal processing, $15 for emergency processing. If you are using RAIL or Parchment to order your first printed transcript EVER, you will need to pay the appropriate fee, and can request your FREE print transcript by mail or in our office.
Printed official transcripts require a minimum of 3 working days for processing.
Emergency Printed Official Transcripts
Emergency hardcopy official transcripts are $15.00 each for 24 hour processing in our office: if we receive your $15 payment no later than noon on a business day, we will have your printed official transcript in the mail to its recipient on the very next business day.
Please note that the 24-hour time frame does NOT mean that the recipient will have it in 24 hours–we have no control over the U.S. Mail or other delivery systems. Transcripts are sent 1st class mail. For Fed Ex, UPS, etc., you must include a pre-paid, pre-addressed mailing envelope.
24-Hour Faxed Unofficial Transcripts
There must be a signed request by the student. This request may be faxed to 304-876-5136. Faxed transcripts are unofficial.
Faxed transcripts are $15.00 each. This payment may be presented as a check sent by mail, or by cash or credit card in the Business Office (304-876-5284). Payment must be received before the transcript is faxed.
In addition to providing the fax number the transcript is to be sent to, provide a phone number for contact in case of problems!
Graduation Transcripts
Allow approximately a month from the date of graduation before a final official transcript may be issued. However, a student may request a letter of verification to confirm that requirements for graduation have been met.
Financial Obligations
All financial obligations to Shepherd University must be reconciled before an official (electronic or printed) or faxed unofficial transcript will be released.
