How do I order a copy of my transcript?
Transcript requests for both undergraduate and graduate degrees are handled by the Registrar's Office in the Administration Building (Building A). The most current information on transcript requests can be found at http://www.kean.edu/offices/registrar/transcript-request.
The Office of the Registrar is now directing all alumni who graduated in 1980 or later to a third party collegiate transcript request service: www.getmytranscript.org. On the transcript website, select Kean University from the drop-down box, then enter your information. Specify which transcript is being requested, and process the order with your credit card.
Alumni who graduated prior to 1980 should complete the transcript request form. The Office of the Registrar does not accept email, fax, or phone requests for transcripts, as a signature is required on any hard copy transcript request. Transcripts (attendance at Kean prior to Fall 1982) will be mailed within seven working days. During peak periods, especially at the end or beginning of a term, mailing may be delayed beyond the above working days.
Questions? Call the Registrar's Office at 908-737-3290 or email regme@kean.edu.
