In fall 2021, USC is returning to the normal grade option election deadlines and standards. For more information on this, please review the Fall 2021 academic FAQs.
General Information
The Transcript department maintains academic transcripts of course work for university-approved credit and releases academic record transcripts in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Transcripts can be provided in either paper format or electronic PDF format.
The student name that will appear on the official USC transcript will match the student’s name as it appears on the STARS report and USC diploma. Students who wish to change their name as it appears in the Student Information System must submit a form of government-authorized identification to gtv@usc.edu. The name change requests must be completed before the student has graduated.
