For Students / Registrar / Transcript and Verification Request
Hebrew Union College Transcript Requests
The transcript is the complete record of all academic work attempted at HUC. HUC does not provide transcripts that isolate specific courses, schools, terms, or degree levels. Official transcripts bear the university seal and the Registrar’s signature. Transcripts are issued directly to individuals, institutions, or organizations upon request from the student.
Students who need an unofficial record of their completed courses can find that information in the Student Information System (SIS). Students who need an enrollment verification letter should review the Enrollment Verification information below
For general transcript questions, please reach out to registrar@huc.edu.
