Do I need an official or an unofficial copy?
An official transcript is printed on tamper-proof, safety-sealed paper. An unofficial (student copy) transcript is printed on non-tamper-proof copy paper. Unofficial copies can only be requested by currently enrolled students.
When sending a transcript to a school, organization, or employer, an official copy is optimal. Upon request, an official copy can be sealed and enclosed in a signed envelope. When requesting for personal use, an unofficial copy will suffice.
What is listed on my transcript?
An official/unofficial transcript contains the following information:
- Student Name and ID Number
- Date of Birth
- Social Security Number
- Gender
- Admitted Date
- Major, Minor and Special Programs (if declared)

Non-enrolled students who seek an unofficial transcript can send all the information above with their payment to the same address.
What will prevent my transcript request from being processed?
Drury University will not release transcripts to a student who has an unpaid balance in their DU account. This includes defaults on Perkins or National Direct Student Loans. It is the student's responsibility to remove outstanding balances before submitting a transcript request. If a transcript was not released due to outstanding balances on the student's DU account, it is the student's responsibility to resubmit the transcript request once the balance has been paid.
