Host Institution Transcripts
We maintain regular contact with the Registrar's Office of our host institutions to ensure timely transmittal of official transcripts upon completion of the program.
At most host institutions outside the U.S., transcripts are not processed until approximately 3 months after the completion of an academic term.
It is your responsibility to make sure you let us know who at your home institution should receive your official transcript and what their mailing address is. Depending on your home institution, it could be the Registrar, Study Abroad Director, Admissions or some other department.
In addition to the official transcript sent to your home institution, you will also receive one unofficial transcript at your permanent address.
Transcripts from the following host institutions will arrive in English:
University of Nicosia
American Business School Paris
University of Westminster
Peking University
Transcripts from the following host institutions will arrive in the local language:
University of Paris IV (Sorbonne) - French
Catholic University of Paris - French
Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona - Spanish
Universidad de Belgrano - Spanish
Additional Transcripts
Alumni can order additional official or unofficial transcripts from Global Learning Semesters by sending an email to Transcripts@GlobalSemesters.com. We will facilitate the process of requesting new transcripts from your host institution.
Official Transcripts
Official transcripts are original documents sent directly from the host
institution. There is a processing fee associated with official
transcripts. Please contact us for pricing information.
Please be aware that some foreign host institutions can take several
weeks to process an additional transcript request, so plan ahead and
order your transcripts in advance if you think you will need additional
copies for graduate school or employers. If you require expedited shipping of your transcripts from abroad, there will be an additional cost.
Unofficial Transcripts
Unofficial transcripts can be ordered directly from Global Learning
Semesters and can be delivered to you electronically (in PDF form).
There is a $10 processing fee associated with unofficial transcripts
and most requests can be accommodated within 1 week.
