Transcript Policy
Official transcripts are typically processed within 2-3 business days following the receipt of a request. Longer processing times may be necessary following college breaks.
Student records are protected by the FERPA privacy act. Only the student may request a copy of their academic record. Transcripts will not be sent by fax. Transcripts will not be released if you have an outstanding financial obligation with Luther College. Contact the Financial Services Office (563-387-1015) if you have questions about your account.
Types of Transcripts
Official transcript – bears the college seal and signature. Potential employers, graduate schools, other universities or colleges, and professional associations most typically request that the student authorize release of an official transcript.
Unofficial transcript – does not bear the college seal and signature.
