Transcripts and Verification of Degree

NOTE: Many students need to document their degrees for an EMPLOYER or FUTURE GRAD SCHOOL, offer a "Dean's Letter" or provide clear documents that a degree is soon expected. This is provided by the Office of Verification NOT by the IB Department. UC Berkeley is a very large (and well-known) public institution; our Deans do not provide this service. See Verification of Attendance section below for contact information and access to the proper PDF.

Transcripts

  • Your official transcript will show your final grades three to four weeks after the last day of final exams.
  • The date of your degree will appear on your transcript approximately three months after the term in which the degree was conferred.
  • Information about the availability of transcripts showing the degree and how to order transcripts and diplomas may be found on the Office of the Registrar's website.
