Academic Records FAQ

For current students, access PAWS with your Campus ID and password. (CampusID is first initial, last name, and usually a number, such as JSmith108. It is the first part of your Georgia State email address, such as JSmith108@student.gsu.edu.)

If you were previously a student and do not have a Campus ID, use GoSOLAR to order a transcript.

Third parties must send in a written request with the student’s signed release. The third party can mail the Consent to Release Records to Third Parties request form [PDF], along with a $10 check or money order and the student’s signed release to:

Office of the Registrar
Georgia State University
P.O. Box 4017
Atlanta, GA 30302

The easiest way to get your enrollment verification is to print it from the National Student Clearinghouse. You can access your information in their system through PAWS.

If you need enrollment verification for health insurance, scholarships, auto insurance, current attendance or past attendance, for which, in some cases, the document printed from the National Student Clearinghouse will not be accepted, you may come into the Enrollment Services Center on your campus to request your enrollment verification to be generated manually. You are required to submit documentation from the organization/company requiring this information along with your request.

We are contracted with the National Student Clearinghouse for all third party inquiries. Please visit their website at www.degreeverify.org or call them directly at 703-742-4200.

For security and legal purposes, a legal document, such as a drivers license, social security card, marriage license, divorce decree, adoption papers, certificate of name change at naturalization, or other court order indicating change of name, must be presented with the official Change in Name, Marital Status and/or Social Security Number form [PDF].

You will need to bring your original social security card to the Enrollment Services Center on your campus.

You will need to contact the professor of the class in question. View our page on Grade Changes for more information.

Important: A student who has discharged all obligations to Georgia State University is entitled to receive, upon request, a copy of his or her official transcript. A student is entitled to five (5) free lifetime transcripts. Once a student has exhausted the five (5) free transcripts, Georgia State University will charge a $10.00 processing fee for each transcript processed thereafter.

You can come by the Enrollment Services Center with a written request detailing the course descriptions you need. You will need to provide the course names, course numbers, and the terms in which each course was taken. You also have the option to mail or fax this information to:

Office of Registrar
Georgia State University
P.O. Box 4017

Fax: 404-413-2220

You must talk to your instructor to request an extension. Your instructor can request an extension on your behalf through the chairperson of their department.

AP scores and credit are not typically posted on Georgia State transcripts, but you may make a special request. If you are in the Atlanta area, come by the Enrollment Services Center on your campus to make the request in writing. If you are not able to come in person, you can mail or fax a written request to our office. Please be sure to provide the following information: date of birth, student ID, any and all former names, signature and delivery address. You will also need to state in your request that AP scores/credit need to be included. Please mail this information to:

We are not able to generate an official transcript until you have earned credit here at Georgia State. If you need an official document to submit to your new institution you may request an enrollment verification showing your schedule of classes. Come by the Enrollment Services Center on your campus for assistance.
