Cost

- International Mailing Cost – If a transcript is being sent to an international location, AC will send the transcript via U.S. Postal Service (USPS) without additional charges. However, note that USPS cannot track or guarantee of time of delivery after the package leaves the U.S. even if sent via Priority or Certified mail. If the student/alum wants to send the transcripts via FedEx (which provides a delivery date and a tracking number) the student/alum would have to provide a FedEx label for the Registrar’s Office to send the transcript. Contact the Registrar’s Office for more information on this option.
As an ethical practice, Austin College cannot provide students with copies of transcripts or grade reports from other institutions for students to forward to institutions other than Austin College. We will only provide copies of official Austin College transcripts.
