Transcript Request Policies

Electronic transcript requests are typically processed in one business day, as long as your account is not on hold and you enter information correctly. Mailed transcript requests are typically mailed out within one business day. Please plan accordingly.

Transcripts requests cannot be processed for students who have certain holds on their account; this includes students who have an accounting hold due to an outstanding balance with Student Financial Services. Before requesting your transcript, be sure you do not have a hold on your account. When you request your transcript from the National Student Clearinghouse, if your account is on hold, you will receive a message from registrar@babson.edu informing you that your transcript request has been canceled due to an account hold. You will need to contact the office who placed the hold to clear it. After your hold is resolved you may submit a new transcript request.

When requesting a transcript, you must enter a student ID number to allow you to move forward in the ordering process. Current students can see their ID in Workday by doing the following: click on the Academic icon, then click “view my academic record,” then click your name. If you are unable to locate your student ID number, please email the Registrar’s Office.

Students that attended courses or completed their Babson MBA at the San Francisco campus can obtain their transcript via the electronic process stated above. If San Francisco students would like access to their full student record please email Graduate Academic Services.

Please email the Registrar’s Office to request your transcript if you:

  • Attended before 1990 and did not receive a Babson College degree
  • Graduated and received a Babson College degree before 1990
  • Need a notarized transcript

Unofficial Transcripts

Current students can access their unofficial transcript by going to “Generate Unofficial Transcript” in Workday Student.
