Official Document Verification

UC City’s Office of Undergraduate & Graduate Education oversees institutional accreditation on behalf of the campus. UC City has maintained full accreditation since 1952, with the most recent reaffirmation in 2025 through the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) institutional review process .

If you plan to launch a new academic program (doctoral, master’s, major, minor, certificate), submit the WSCUC Substantive Change Program Screening Form (external link) at least six months before program implementation. Proposed programs must receive WSCUC approval prior to launch to ensure the campus maintains its accredited status.

Official Records & Transcript Verification


Official Transcripts


An official transcript includes: student’s full name, student ID number, courses taken (with terms), grades, credit hours, GPA, transfer coursework, academic notations (e.g., repeated courses), withdrawal records, and degree-awarded details (graduation date, major/minor). It also features honors and awards such as Dean’s List, departmental recognition, and internship certifications.

Students enrolled in their first semester may request official transcripts after grades are posted. Do not submit requests for first-semester transcripts before grade release—refer to the Transcript Verification Portal for updates.

Most students receive official transcripts for a standard document fee.
