Alumni

We are currently accepting requests for both electronic and paper transcripts. After submitting your official request through the National Student Clearinghouse, please allow 3-5 business days for processing of e-transcripts (PDFs) and 5-7 business days for processing of paper transcripts. Those who attended/graduated before 1990 should allow 10 business days of processing time, even for e-transcripts. Note that selecting "express shipping" when ordering expedites the shipping time for paper transcripts but will not shorten the processing time and must include a street address as PO boxes will not be accepted for expedited shipping.

Former students should scan and email documents to registrar@bowdoin.edu. This includes requests for apostilles. Please complete the apostille request form and email it, along with a copy of the document needing the apostille, e.g., diploma, to registrar@bowdoin.edu and allow 2-3 weeks for processing.

Staff distribute Bowdoin alumni hats.

Credentials

Official Transcripts and Degree Verifications may be requested through our partner, the National Student Clearinghouse, at studentclearinghouse.org.
