Ph.D. Program Guidebook 2007-2008
The University of Chicago transcript is a record of a student’s progress and performance
while enrolled at the university. All courses completed or withdrawn from for a grade of W
appear on the official student transcript with the grade received. All entering students pay a
lifetime transcript fee of $39 in their first year of study. The lifetime transcript fee allows
students to request an unlimited number of official transcripts, now and in the future,
whenever they need it, at no additional cost. Transcripts may be ordered in one of four ways:
1. By a secured Internet transaction via registrar.uchicago.edu/transcripts.html.
2. In person in the Office of the University Registrar.
3. By mail, sending a signed request to the Office of the Registrar, 5801 South Ellis
Avenue, Room 103, Chicago, IL 60637.
