Alumni can obtain their formal transcript by contacting the Registrar's Office (contact information below).  Please allow seven days for transcript requests for those who graduated before 1983 and five days for those who graduated after 1983.

Following is a link to the transcript request form

In addition, if you graduated post-1992, you can obtain a web version of your transcript, verify your degree and graduation year and more by logging into your ALVIN account at https://alvin.newschool.edu. If you have never used ALVIN, all you need is your social security number and date of birth to access your account. Should you have problems logging in, contact the Office of Alumni Relations at 212.229.5662 x3784.
