Mission Transcript: Possible Delivery Methods (Choose Your Weapon)
UT Austin offers a few ways to get your transcript fix, depending on your level of technophilia and need for immediate gratification.
Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.
The Online Warrior: This is the fastest and easiest option for current and former students with a UT EID (electronic ID). Just log in to the Texas One Stop portal [insert dramatic music], select "Order a Transcript," and follow the on-screen instructions. Pow! Transcript on its way (digitally, of course).
The Formidable Fax/Mail Fighter: Feeling a little old school? You can download a transcript order form, fill it out with your best penmanship (because apparently fax machines can't read chicken scratch), and fax or mail it in. Warning: This option might take a bit longer, so be prepared to channel your inner zen master while you wait.
The Face-to-Face Fanatic: For those who crave human interaction (or maybe just don't have a printer), you can always head over to the Texas One Stop in person. Just bring a valid ID and your most charming smile (because who knows, maybe they'll throw in a free Longhorn sticker with your transcript).
Important Note: Transcripts aren't free, but hey, at least they're not priceless (looking at you, plane tickets). Expect to shell out a cool $20 per copy.
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.
Operation Stealth Transcript: How to Keep Your Grades Under Wraps (Optional)
Maybe you're not exactly itching to broadcast your academic achievements (or lack thereof) to the world. Fear not, fellow transcript warriors! UT Austin offers the option to request sealed transcripts. These bad boys are sent directly to the recipient in a tamper-proof envelope, ensuring your grades stay between you, the recipient, and maybe that squirrel who keeps peeking in your window.
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.

How to Seal the Deal: Just make sure to mark "sealed transcript" on your online order or write it clearly on the order form if you're going the old-fashioned route.
