Transcripts and Certificates of Attendance

A transcript is a record of all the courses taken by a student by term in the MBA Program along with their final grades and the degree received, if applicable. To ensure the confidentiality of these records, a signed request form must be provided via email. In addition, we may verify transcript requests via student and alumni HBS email addresses. Transcripts are typically printed once per week. If you have any questions, please email registrar+hbs.edu.

A certificate of attendance is a letter confirming a student's attendance and degree signed by MBA Registrar Services. Because it contains no confidential information, this certificate can be requested via an email to our office (registrar+hbs.edu). A signature is not required. Certificates of attendance are provided free of charge and will be emailed as PDF attachments. Please allow three business days for your request to be filled.

Transcript requests (pdf) should include the following information:

  • Name under which the student was registered
  • Years of attendance and/or graduation year
  • Contact telephone number and HBS email address of requestor
  • Mailing Address
  • Alumnus/Alumna's signature
