Transcripts, Grades & Records
Transcripts
An official transcript can be requested in several ways: 1) a written, signed request that contains the following: your name, university identification number, signature and the complete name and address of where you would like it sent, 2) a transcript request form, or 3) transcripts may be ordered via Gulfline and paid for by credit card. You may also request the transcript be held for pickup at the Office of the Registrar. If you are picking up a transcript, you will be required to present a photo ID. Transcript request forms are available on our web site on the FORMS page and at the Office of the Registrar's front counter.
There is a $10.00* fee for each official transcript requested. Please bring or send your check or money order, made out to FGCU, along with your request to the following address:
Please mail the Transcript request form to:
FGCU, Attn: Cashiers Office
10501 FGCU Blvd. South
Ft. Myers, FL 33965-6565
* Approved by the FGCU UBOT October 2002, effective Spring 2003.
To receive an unofficial transcript, a written, signed request that contains the following: your name, university identification number, signature and the complete name and address of where you would like it sent, or an unofficial transcript may be ordered via Gulfline. You may also request the transcript be held for pickup at the Office of the Registrar. If you are picking up a transcript, you will be required to present a photo ID. There is no special request form for unofficial transcripts.
No fee is required for an unofficial transcript. You can mail or deliver your request to the address given above or you can fax your signed request (only for unofficial transcripts) to 239-590-7983.
Please allow 48 hours for your request to be processed. During peak office times, which generally last from two weeks prior to the start of term through two weeks after the end of term, please allow up to 72 hours for your transcript to be available.
If you wish to have the transcript mailed with current term grades posted, these transcripts will be held and processed after the final grades are submitted and the academic standing and GPA recalculations have been done. This procedure normally takes 4-5 days after the end of term. For the summer sessions, the end of term is at the end of the last session. Transcripts being held for degrees to be posted can take up to 3 weeks after the end of term.
Please note that Transcripts cannot be released when obligations to FGCU have not been satisfied.
Grades
Grades are due within two days of the end of each semester. FGCU does not automatically mail out grades, these are available to all students through GULFLINE. Please refer to the University Catalog for policies regarding incomplete grades and grade appeals.
Records
The official students' academic records are housed in the SCT Banner student information system and in the Registrar's Office . Students have a right to access their records and may do so by submitting a request in writing (Student Record Review Request). Additionally, students may restrict access to their academic record or conversely allow access to designated people. Detailed information is available on the FERPA site.
Address, name and residency reclassification: Changes to a students name and address must be submitted in writing and in the case of a name change be accompanied by supporting documentation.
Reclassification of state residency for tuition purposes is not automatic. All requests for change in residency for current and enrolled students should be submitted to the Registrar's Office for committee review. Supporting hardcopy documents must be attached to the request form. All requests for a change in residency must be submitted by the first day of late registration.
All forms required for changes in students records are at FORMS.
