The New York Request For Transcript (FT) is a form used to request a transcript or copy of a student’s academic record from the New York State Education Department. There are three types of Rats available: High School Transcripts, College Transcripts, and Combined Transcripts. High School Transcripts include the student’s academic records from grades 9-12, while College Transcripts include the student’s academic records from any college or university in New York State. Combined Transcripts include both the High School and College Transcripts. The FT requests the student’s name, date of birth, and Social Security Number, as well as the name and address of the school or institution to which the transcript should be sent. Once the form is completed, it can be mailed or faxed to the New York State Education Department. The FT is the first step in obtaining a transcript and is required for all requests for transcripts from the New York State Education Department.
