All transcripts are sent electronically through Parchment or through the Common Application or Coalition Application, when applicable. Parchment transcript fees range in price. Your final total will be calculated at checkout. Common Application and Coalition Application transcripts are free.
Payment for Parchment transcripts must be made by debit or credit card at the time of the order. If you do not have access to a debit or credit card and are a current student, contact your counselor to arrange an alternative payment method.
Before submitting a transcript request, review your academic record for accuracy. If you changed or added courses, or completed coursework over the summer, confirm that your transcript is complete and correct before placing your order. Transcripts are typically sent within a few days of the request, making it important to ensure the information is accurate before submitting.
If you previously had an account with Parchment using your school email address, you will need to contact Parchment Customer Support to reset your account with your current email address.
