Transcript:
Request official transcript(s) from institutions you’ve attended, including Rutgers.

If your institution is a sending member of Parchment, eScrip-Safe, or National Student Clearinghouse, Rutgers will be able to receive your official transcripts electronically. We also accept electronic transcripts from India sent via TrueCopy Credentials.
