When a student enrolls at Berkeley he or she is considered an adult. This means that both student and parent rights to academic information change drastically. For the first time in their child's life, parents will actually be denied access to some academic information about them.
Transcripts are probably the most important part of a student's record.
Unofficial transcripts must be ordered in person at the Office of the Registrar. A list of classes taken and grades earned can also be printed out for free from the personal information page on the Bear Facts web site at bearfacts.berkeley.edu. Final grades are posted on official transcripts four weeks after the last day of final examinations. Degrees are posted three months after the end of the term in which they are conferred. Regular transcripts are sent five to 10 working days after the request is received while rush transcripts are sent within 24 hours.
