Ordering Transcripts

An official academic transcript includes all undergraduate and graduate coursework completed at SUNY Oswego. Transcripts can only be released at the student’s request. For international document authentication, see the Apostille process, outlined below.

Transcript ordering from Parchment, our provider, has been restored. Transcript ordering is available and successfully running. Thank you for your patience during this unexpected outage.

Ordering Transcripts via Parchment

If you are applying to SUNY Oswego please have your High School send all documents to the SUNY Oswego Admissions Office. For further information please contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office at [email protected]  

Order through Parchment

Students may request transcripts 24/7 online. Please note: If you send a PDF transcript to yourself, it will be considered unofficial. To ensure your transcript remains official, always send it directly to the intended recipient. For questions, select one of the following options:

Ordering Transcripts via MyOswego

SUNY Oswego does not accept transcript requests by phone, fax, or email, and does not fax transcripts under any circumstances.

You can also order transcripts via myOswego under the “Student Records” card. 

Electronic (PDF) delivery is strongly encouraged as it is the fastest and most secure option. Paper copies and archived transcripts (pre-1990) typically take 5–7 business days.

Unofficial transcripts are only available in myOswego* for current students. If you no longer have access to myOswego, you will need to order a transcript through Parchment. Only unofficial transcripts contain Academic Standing information. Official transcripts do not list Academic Standing.

* Under your Student Profile, select Student Academic Transcript from the left hand menu. 

 

Apostille: International Document Authentication

The Apostille process authenticates the legality of documents exchanged between participating nations. Students and alumni traveling overseas for work may be asked to provide diplomas and/or transcripts through this process. It's very important to be sure you require the Apostille before ordering. Check with your employer or school first to confirm exactly what is required.

What May Be Required

  • Some schools or agencies may only require a notarized document with a college seal.
  • Others may need an official Apostille from New York State.
  • In many cases, an authenticated e-diploma is accepted instead of an Apostille diploma. E-diplomas can be authenticated online, eliminating the need for a paper Apostille diploma.

How to Order Authenticated Documents

Diplomas

Authenticated duplicate diplomas can be ordered online through the Michael Sutter Company.

Be sure to select "Notary Service Added" during checkout.

Transcripts

Authenticated transcripts can be ordered online through Parchment. Choose "Regular Request - Apostille Transcript" and select "Myself" as the recipient. Allow up to 2 weeks for processing after submitting your signed authorization form.

Cost: $17 (includes U.S. mail).

Completing the Apostille Process

Materials requested for the Apostille process will be notarized and authenticated as follows:

  • SUNY Oswego will notarize your documents.
  • Documents are then sent to the Oswego County Clerk for authentication.
  • You are responsible for submitting documents to the NYS Department of State.

Note: If your country does not accept state-level authentication, you may also need to contact the U.S. Department of State for further authentication.
