How long do transcripts take to be mailed

The time it takes for transcripts to be mailed can vary depending on the institution, the method of delivery, and the workload of the transcript office. Here are some general guidelines:

  1. Electronic transcripts: If you request an electronic transcript, it will typically be sent to your email address within 1-2 business days.
  2. Paper transcripts: If you request a paper transcript, it will typically take 3-5 business days to be mailed. However, this timeframe can vary depending on the institution's workload and the method of delivery.
  3. Rush orders: If you need a transcript urgently, you can request a rush order. This may incur an additional fee and can take anywhere from 1-3 business days, depending on the institution.
  4. Weekend and holiday delays: If you request a transcript on a Friday, it may not be mailed until the following Monday, as most institutions do not process transcripts on weekends or holidays.

Keep in mind that these are general guidelines, and the actual time it takes for a transcript to be mailed may vary. It's always a good idea to check with the institution's transcript office for specific turnaround times and any additional fees associated with rush orders.
