APPLICATION FEE

TRANSCRIPTS—NEW PROCEDURES AND FEES
A one-time transcript fee of $25.00 is charged to all students whose first term at NJCU is fall 2005 or later. The Registrar’s Office has the right to deny a transcript request to any student who abuses this service. Limit of transcript requests per year is 10 transcripts for regular service. A $10.00 per transcript fee will be charged for 1-hour same day service, until 4:00 p.m. To request a transcript the student or graduate has three options:

1. In person: at the Registrar’s Office Hepburn 214 on a form supplied by the office.
2. By mail: send a signed letter to the Registrar’s Office, c/o Transcripts, New Jersey City University, 2039 Kennedy Boulevard, Jersey City, NJ 07305.
3. By the Internet: NJCU Registrar’s website: http://www.njcu.edu/dept/ registrar. Students may request separate undergraduate and graduate transcripts but no portion of the undergraduate or graduate record may be deleted. Procedures for the issuance of transcripts are governed by the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 as amended (Final Regulations, 41 Fed. Reg. 24662 399.33). Transcripts are prepared by the Registrar’s Office in accordance with the policies of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Officers of Admission. Where New Jersey City University transcripts show credit hours earned at other institutions the official transcripts from those institutions have become a part of the student’s permanent file in the Registrar’s Office. New Jersey City University does not make copies of another institution’s transcripts. To obtain such transcripts, the student must contact the institution concerned. Transcripts should be requested at least ten days prior to the time needed. No transcript of credits will be granted to any student until all fees and other University obligations have been adjusted.
