IPR will appear if a course has finished but an approved grade/mark is not yet available. Please allow for additional time between the completion of your course(s) and the posting of your grades/marks to your official academic record. Be sure to check your academic history on ACORN before placing your transcript order to ensure your academic record is complete and your grades/marks are up to date. Please note, year-long courses (Y courses) that span the Fall and Winter terms will remain IPR in the Fall. The final grade/mark will appear on your transcript in the Winter term.

Please allow for additional time between your convocation ceremony and the posting of your degree information to your official academic record. Be sure to check your academic history on ACORN before placing your transcript order to ensure your degree information is on your academic record.

Ordering will be disabled on ACORN for students/alumni with a financial or administrative hold on their record. You must clear the hold on your record before you are able to order a transcript in ACORN. For more information about holds, please see the Service and Operational Policies page.

General Inquiries (eTranscript)

The eTranscript’s security feature will automatically add a watermark that reads “Copy of Official Transcript” when printed. Please order a paper transcript if you need a physical version of your official transcript.

Like a paper transcript, the eTranscript is a snap shot of your complete academic record at the time of its production. The eTranscript does not automatically update as your record changes in the future. Be sure to check your academic history on ACORN before placing your transcript order to ensure your academic record is complete.

The University Registrar eTranscript’s security features do not allow it to be combined with other PDF documents. If you wish to send someone a copy of your eTranscript, send the secure PDF as a separate attachment.

Once your consent is approved, your order will be processed and your account will be set-up for future ordering.

We require valid government issued photo ID to complete the account creation process on the Parchment Storefront. See the Service and Operational Policies page for a list of accepted documents.

Please upload a scanned image, or a high resolution photo, of your valid government photo identification using the upload button on the Consent Page in the Parchment Storefront. Uploaded images will need to be processed by the University Registrar’s Office before your transcript(s) can be released. Please allow for additional processing time after the consent is submitted.

Order Status (eTranscript)

If your eTranscript order was cancelled by a University of Toronto administrator for any reason, a delivery status update will be sent to your email with details of your order cancellation.

Your eTranscript order may be on hold for several reasons:

  1. You did not completed the consent process. If you just created an account on the Parchment Storefront (i.e., you don’t have a UTORid) and this is the first time you’ve submitted an order, your order may be on hold while we wait for you to complete the consent process. Once we have received and approved your consent, the hold will be cleared, and your order will be processed.
  2. You have academic activities older than September of 1998 on your record. If you completed courses and programs before the 1998-Fall term, your order may be on hold while we put your complete academic record together. Please allow for 2 or more additional business days of processing.
  3. You have a financial or administrative hold on your academic record. For information about a financial hold, contact our office.  If it has been determined that the hold was placed by the Office of Student Accounts you can contact them here.  If you have outstanding library fines you can pay your fines online on the Library website. For information on how to clear your administrative hold please contact your registrar’s office.

Be sure to check the status of your eTranscript order on the Parchment Storefront by clicking Order Status in the main menu. You will also receive an email notification with details of the hold status.
