Transcript Ordering Update

In line with the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and New York State Department of Health recommendations, our offices are operating on a hybrid office/remote schedule. All requests for transcripts can now be made online (with or without attachments) through the National Student Clearinghouse.

The United States Postal Service is experiencing an unprecedented volume increase and limited employee availability due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are also seeing delays with international mail, including instances where some countries are not accepting mail for certain periods of time. There could be delays receiving mailed transcripts. We suggest that students select electronic delivery if applicable.

Briarcliff College, Bennett College, Good Counsel College, College of White Plains, and New York Medical College alumni must submit requests via the National Student Clearinghouse to the Pleasantville Campus.

Pace University purchased the World Trade Institute in July of 1997. We do not have transcripts for coursework completed prior to 1997 as they were lost on September 11, 2001. Although we cannot provide a transcript, letters detailing students’ coursework will be generated from our database and issued to students. To request an official letter, please submit a completed WTI Letter Request Form (PDF) using the Front Desk online request form.
