Obtaining an unofficial copy of your transcript
An unofficial transcript, available to you in OneStart for up to five years after you are no longer enrolled,, is designed to show information identical to your official transcript. Term and cumulative IU GPA statistics are based on university-wide rules (for example, all X grades are honored for exclusion from the GPA, and all coursework and grades are included even if repeated).
-
Log into OneStart. The
"Student Center" area should be visible; if it is not, select the
Servicestab, and choose theStudent Self-Servicesection on the left.Click
Go to Student Center.Note: The Student Center and other Self-Service applications use pop-up pages and subpages. If your Internet pop-up blocker is set to block all pop-ups, you'll need to turn it off or change the setting to allow them; see How do I enable or disable pop-ups in web browsers? For further assistance, contact your local Support Center.

program and the type of report you want (i.e., select

At the end of the transcript, you will also see the Student Program GPA summary. These statistics are calculated according to the rules of your current program (e.g., whether courses may be repeated for credit). Certain courses may be designated with a note indicating the course was repeated or an equivalent course was later completed. Courses with this note are excluded from the Student Program GPA calculation.
