PARCHMENT
All transcript requests must be submitted through Parchment.com. If you don't already have an account, you can create one using a personal email address (do not use your school email address because you will need to access Parchment after you graduate!). Official transcripts can be sent to any college, workplace, or scholarship organization if requested to be sent directly to them. Any self-view requests are considered unofficial. Please contact your counselor or Mrs. Kimi Becker in the counseling office if you have any questions or need help.
***NOTE TO SENIORS***
Only one "final transcript" will be mailed at the end of the school year. All colleges and universities require a final transcript showing a graduation date. If you are unsure of the location you wish your final transcript to be mailed, please wait to submit the form. If more than one request is submitted, the one with most current date will be honored. Final requests for transcripts are not processed until after grades are submitted. All final transcripts will be mailed or emailed by mid June.
