Transcripts and Diplomas

The Office of Admissions and Records is the only department authorized to provide official university transcripts. Students and alumni may request these documents online, in person or by mail. Facsimile requests are not accepted.

Please visit the Admissions & Records Transcripts Page for Transcript Request Forms, fee schedules, and more information.

Notes

• Official transcripts by mail are issued in separate, sealed envelopes.
• Only CSUN course work will appear on the transcript. Order course work from other schools by contacting those schools.
• In accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), your records will only be released to a third-party with your written consent.
• Official transcripts cannot be released until all missing grades are submitted.

Currently registered Cal State Northridge students, as well as alumni with a myNorthridge account, may obtain unofficial transcript through your portal account.

Log into myNorthridge from the CSUN home page with your CSUN UserID and Password. In the Academics tab, scroll down to the box labeled “Chart my Academic Progress.” Click on the link for unofficial transcripts. 

If you have lost or forgotten your password, you may contact the IT Help Center at (818) 677-1400 or online.

If you do not have a myNorthridge portal account, you may request unofficial transcripts in person by visiting the Office of Admissions and Records in Bayramian Hall during regular business hours.

If you lost your original diploma, you may request a new one by mail or in person from the Office of Admissions and Records. See sidebar for contact information. Once your request is processed, the new diploma will be mailed to the address you provide.

Notes

• The university no longer prints diplomas from San Fernando Valley State College (SFVSC). If you graduated prior to 1972, your duplicate diploma will reflect the current name of the university, not the former.
  

Students may need to verify their CSUN enrollment for external legal or business purposes. Employers might require enrollment verification when sponsoring students in an academic program or as proof of graduation for a job opportunity.

• Undergraduate students who need to be considered full time must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 units.
• Graduate students who need to be considered full time must be enrolled in a minimum of 8 units.
