Transcripts
Ordering High School Transcripts for College
To order a student high school transcript for college admission, parents/students will create their own online Parchment account. This electronic account will be a student's account for anything they need after high school graduation. (Do not order transcripts through Parchment for scholarships)
Ordering Transcript Instructions
- Go to Parchment
- Set up a New Learner Account (no registration codes issued)
- Enter student name EXACTLY as it appears on your student Infinite Campus account
- Complete all registration information (recommended: waive rights to access)
- Select destination college, NCAA (for athletes needs), or the Common Application
- Provide credit or debit card for the transcript processing fee
Notes: An unofficial transcript is generated free of charge within a day after the account is established. (The transcript requested will be an "official" transcript sent electronically) The unofficial transcript should be checked by the student once it arrives, for accuracy of grades, and ACT scores BEFORE requesting and sending the offial transcript to it's college destinations. Electronic transcripts take one to three days to be sent to colleges.
Benefits: This service is easy, secure, and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Many colleges prefer the official electronic transcript.
