Apostille
An Apostille is a document issued by a government, such as the State of New Jersey. This document attests to the legal status of notaries and certain other public officials who have notarized another document, such as a diploma or transcript. They are often used in transactions involving international document exchange, for the benefit of a foreign government, or to secure employment in a foreign country. An Apostille is provided if the transaction involves a country that subscribes to the Hague Treaty.
To get an Apostille, you will need an assigned representative of Rutgers University, Office of the Registrar, to notarize your official Rutgers diploma or transcript.
The Rutgers University–Newark, Office of the Registrar, will notarize official Rutgers diplomas or transcripts. Please send your request to the Office of the Registrar at https://go.rutgers.edu/myrunsupport.
Once the registrar's representative has notarized your official Rutgers diploma or transcript, you can complete the process by contacting the New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Revenue.

Why does my transcript show one grade when the professor said I received something else?
Back to Top
Whatever grade the instructor submitted on the final grade roster is what will be displayed on the student's record (or transcript). If you have a question about your final grade, you should contact your instructor. If your instructor submits a change of grade, the new grade will replace the previous grade, and your cumulative grade point average (GPA) will be recalculated as necessary.
If the instructor is unavailable, then the student should contact the department that offered the course to discuss the matter with the department chair.
