Student Records & Transcripts

Transcript Requests  

Please submit requests for transcripts using this online form.

Students ages 18 years or older should submit their own requests; if this is not possible, a written release from the student should be uploaded with the online form. For security and confidentiality, all official transcripts will be prepared in a signed, sealed envelope. 

Current middle and high students and parents/legal guardians of current secondary students can access the unofficial transcript through the Student and  Parent Portals, respectively. Refer to the instructions for the four simple steps to obtaining a copy of your unofficial transcript. If you have questions, please contact the registrar at the last school of attendance in San José Unified. 

We sometimes get requests from previous students to change information on the official transcript or add a picture to the transcript. 

  • Our transcripts include the student’s picture if it was taken while the student was enrolled in our district. We are unable to add pictures from other sources. 
  • For students who graduated after 2011, we can update names in our official records based on birth certificates or other official documentation. For students who graduated before 2011, we can provide a letter acknowledging the names on the birth certificate (or other official document) but are not able to edit the transcript.

If you are seeking elementary school records, please contact your student’s school to request. 

Payment for Transcripts 

Official transcripts are $5 per transcript. Payment is required to process the transcript request and may be brought in-person to the school office or mailed directly to the school. If you are mailing the payment, please include a note with your name, date of birth, and phone number, or a copy of the transcript request. Accepted forms of payment include cash, checks, and money orders. Please make checks and money orders payable to the school. For cash payments, exact amounts are appreciated. San José Unified does not currently accept electronic forms of payment.

The school will contact you regarding the payment.
