Before Spring 2011:

Upon request, students can receive an unofficial transcript in the mail about four weeks after the semester ends. If official transcripts are needed to be sent to a college/institution, the student must make a request by email to transcripts@saintsbibleinstitute.org. Voice messages will not be processed. The following information must be included in the email in order for your transcript request to be processed:
 - student name and social security number

Transcripts must be requested by email well in advance of the date you need them to be received by your home institution. Transcripts will be mailed to designated institutions/individuals within one week of the request date. It is the student's responsibility to confirm that the transcript is received by the home institution. Please indicate any changes to your address or contact information. Your first official transcript is free. Additional transcripts will be processed and mailed for a $5 fee.
