Request a Transcript/Parchment

Current Seniors Applying to College:

Common Application: For Common App schools, once you invite your counselor as a recommender, they will submit your transcript. You do NOT need to request a transcript through Parchment.

School Specific Applications: For colleges NOT in your Common Application, if the school requires an official transcript you will need to request that it be sent via Parchment using the instructions below. 

Review the instructions and application check-list for EACH school to which you’re applying. Some schools may ask you to complete a ‘self-reported’ academic record (SRAR), or the Courses & Grades section of the Common App. If you are instructed to self-report your courses and grades this is a required step and your application will not be complete without it.

Mid-Year Transcripts: Some schools will request a seventh semester transcript (or mid-year report), before making admission decisions. For Common Application Schools, you may need to request your mid-year transcript by completing a Mid-Year Transcript Request Form. Once completed, email this form to your  counselor. All non Common App mid-year transcript requests should be made through Parchment.com.
