Ordering SIU Carbondale transcripts:

SIUC transcripts consist of a student's complete undergraduate and/or graduate academic history at SIUC.  (Transcripts will show current term courses as in-progress starting the fifth week of the term.)  Students who need an official transcript for themselves, an employer, or other educational institution, may order official transcripts below.

Students who attended SIUC beginning Fall 1990 or later may view their unofficial transcript within SalukiNet Self-Service.  However, students who attended prior to Fall 1990 will not be able to do so because individual coursework information prior to Fall 1990 is stored only on physical record cards at the University.
