how to request a transcript from the dental school
 
Official transcripts must be requested in writing either by mail, fax, or in person at the Office of the Registrar, 100 East Newton Street, G-428 Boston, MA 02118, fax 617/638-4732. Please include the following information: 

• Full name, including any former names.
• Boston University ID number or Social Security number.
• Degrees/Certificates awarded.
• Year Degrees/Certificates were awarded.
• Complete address information of transcript destination(s).
• Signature.

An outstanding financial obligation to BU will prohibit the University from releasing an official transcript. 

There is no charge for transcripts. 

official versus unoffical transcripts

Official and unofficial transcripts contain all academic information about a student, including classes, grades, class rank, and GPA (GPA and class rank for predoctoral students only).

Official transcripts include the signature of the School of Dental Medicine Registrar and the Boston University seal.

Unofficial transcripts carry the same information as the official transcript but do not have the University seal or the Registrar's signature.

rushed transcript

If a transcript is needed immediately, students should either visit us in person to complete a request form or fax us at 617-638-4732. This will eliminate mailing time. To further expedite the mailing process, once the request is received, transcripts can be mailed out via express courier such as federal express. If you would like to use this option on your request form please include your credit card number as well as expiration date. Please note overnights can not be delivered to P.O. Boxes or Mail Box codes. Be sure to include your daytime phone number in order to process your request.

To receive copies of course descriptions, submit a request in writing. Include the same information required for an official transcript as well as the year the course was taken, the course name and number. If requesting course descriptions for all Boston University classes taken, please indicate that all course descriptions are required. There is no charge for this service.

predoctoral students (class rank/final grades)

Class rank is usually run in the months of September and October. If you require a transcript with current class rank or a transcript with all final grades, be sure to indicate this on the request. Transcripts will be mailed once class rank and/or final grades are available.

graduating students

Please note that your graduation date will not appear on your transcript until all final grades are received. Be sure to indicate if you would like a transcript sent "as is" or held until all grades are available.
