How to Request a Transcript

To request a transcript, download the order form below, fill it out, then print, sign, and send it to our North American Office by email to [email protected]. Include any labels or transcript request forms that need to be attached to the transcript(s). CYA transcripts are official and can only be sent after the form, and payment if required, has been sent to us.

College Year in Athens follows U.S. federal laws set by FERPA (the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) which requires a signed release from the student in order to release grades and/or transcripts (even “unofficial” ones.) We cannot accept written email or phone requests for transcripts, the form must be scanned with a signature and then emailed back.

Payment and Delivery

For digital transcripts, please allow 3-4 business days for your request to be processed and completed. There is no fee for digital transcripts sent via email. 

For hard copy transcripts sent via mail, please allow 3-4 business days for your request to be processed, and an additional 5-7 business days for the transcript to reach its destination. The fee for hard copy transcripts is $5 each. If you need the hard copy transcript expedited or require shipment tracking, the fee is $40 each. Email [email protected] for options regarding expedited transcripts.

Please submit through one of these options. Include your first name and last name in the note when sending the payment. If you cannot submit payment via one of these methods, please contact [email protected].

  • PayPal – send money at [email protected] and we would appreciate it if you could treat CYA as a ‘friend’ to avoid the imposition of service charges
  • Zelle – send money at [email protected] 

Please note: Transcript requests will not be processed for students with “HOLDS” on their accounts.
