Official Transcripts
A transcript is copy of your UWM record. In order for a transcript to be considered "official", it must:

• Be printed on specially colored and coded transcript paper
• Include an embossed university seal
• An official transcript that you receive directly will be stamped "Issued to Student". Such transcripts may not be considered acceptable by third party recipients. Please check with the final recipient, before receiving an official transcript yourself.

Every time you request a copy of your official UWM transcript you must submit a signed request and pay a $8.00 fee. For fee purposes, an undergraduate transcript and a Graduate School transcript are considered one UWM record.

Unofficial Transcripts
The unofficial transcript is not embossed with the University seal and usually is not used for applying to other universities or for employment purposes.

If you wish to have our staff process an unofficial transcript request for you, you may request, at no charge, one unofficial copy per semester of your undergraduate academic record to use for planning or advising. However, if you have an active UWM email address, you may also request unofficial transcripts through your PAWS account up to once per day by following the steps below (requesting unofficial trancripts instructions in .pdf format):

1. After logging into PAWS, click on the "Self Service" link in the left hand navigation menu. Click on the "Academic Records" link, and then on the "Request Unofficial Transcript" link that appears below.
   
   
2. Choose the Transcript Type you want from the drop down menu. The Output Destination Type will always be email. Click on the Submit Transcript Request button:
   
   NOTE: Only those types that you are eligible to request will display. In other words, if you are enrolled as an Undergraduate student, you won't be able to select a Graduate transcript type).
   
   
3. If your request for an unofficial transcript was submitted successfully, you'll see the message that says "Your request has been submitted. It has been sent to yourepantherid@uwm.edu as a PDF attachment. The sender's email address will be destran@uwm.edu."
   
   
4. If your request was not submitted successfully, you'll receive a message indicating why not and directing you what steps to take.
