The Transcript of Records (TOR) is the official permanent record of a student for the entire duration of their stay in San Beda College Alabang. This includes credits from other schools they attended.
The Transcript of Records may be official (with school seal and signature of the Registrar) or unofficial. The purpose of the requested TOR is indicated on the last page.

Issuance of Diploma
SBCA awards the Diploma to certify the completion of a degree program or course of study. It is a legal document that bears the signature of the Rector-President and the Principal/Dean. The official date of graduation is indicated on the Diploma.
The original Diploma is issued only once. However, the school accepts requests for the issuance of a DUPLICATE DIPLOMA, subject to the following:
- The DUPLICATE Diploma will be a true certified copy of the original, to be signed by the Registrar on behalf of the original signatories.
- The words “Duplicate Copy” are printed on the Diploma.
- The ORIGINAL DIPLOMA shall be rendered null and void in the records of San Beda College Alabang. It shall be considered when presented for verification/authentication and other purposes.
- The DUPLICATE DIPLOMA is issued only once. Should the same be damaged or lost thereafter, no request for this document may be further entertained without prejudice to the issuance of a graduation certification.
- The acceptance of the application for DUPLICATE DIPLOMA does not bind or obligate SBCA into issuing the same when its records show that a DUPLICATE DIPLOMA has been previously issued.
- That a duly notarized Affidavit of Loss must be submitted, and that, in case of damaged ORIGINAL DIPLOMA, the same must be surrendered to the Office of the Registrar for appropriate disposal.
Issuance of a Diploma requires having the clearance processed by the different offices and units. Graduates with pending accountabilities must settle their obligations before the diploma can be released.
For graduates who need credentials to apply for a job or transfer to other schools, the Office of the Registrar may issue an official certification that they have graduated.
