TRANSCRIPT FAQ's
How much does an official transcript order cost through Parchment?
Each individual order is $8.00 for electronic versions and $10.30 for physical copies.
Who can see my information?
Each transcript order will only be released to the person or institution specified
in your order. Our records release policy can be reviewed here.
Where can I access an unofficial transcript, and how much do they cost?
There is no cost to view or receive an unofficial transcript. Current students can
access these in Self-Service by downloading them from the "Unofficial Transcript"
tab. Alumni/former students may email [email protected] or call 410-778-7299 to request a copy. Please be prepared to confirm your ID.
What is the difference between official and unofficial transcripts, and why does it
matter?
Unofficial transcripts only display the student's name, classes and terms attended,
and the grades received. Official transcripts show those as well as the college seal
and name, the Registrar's signature, and any semesters where Dean's List or Academic
Probation were earned. Most employers and institutions require students to submit
an official transcript, but not all. Please reach out to the Registrar's office with
questions about what your situation requires.
I attended Washington College many years ago and would like an official transcript.
Is this possible?
Absolutely! If you graduated or left WAC before 1986, we may only have a physical
transcript, which you can still order through Parchment. Please use the "1986 - Prior"
method when ordering. This option allows us to process physical transcripts, but we
will only be able to send it physically. If your years of attendance cover both periods,
or you are unsure when you attended, please email [email protected] or call 410-778-7299.
I need to upload my official transcript to an application portal. How can I do that?
In Parchment, please order the transcript to yourself. In the "Set Destination" screen,
please select "I'm sending to myself or another individual," and then "I'm sending
to myself." Make sure your email address is entered correctly. You will receive your
official transcript to your email, which you can download to your computer and then
upload to the portal.
I am applying to a government/military position that will not accept Parchment documents.
What should I do?
Please email [email protected] or call 410-778-7299. We have a separate process for these applications.
I have a specific email/mailing address that my official transcript needs to go to.
Is it possible to enter that?
Yes! In Parchment, when you reach the "Set Destination" screen, please choose "I'm
sending to myself or another individual," and then "I'm sending this order to another
individual." You will be able to enter the destination name, and specify the address.
Please note that the default method is electronic. If you need to enter a mailing
address, click "Print & Mail."
Parchment is asking me to "Set Learner Credentials." What does this mean?
If you are currently attending WAC, please use the "1987 - Current" method. If you
graduated or left WAC after 1987, please use the "1987 - Current" method. If you graduated
or left WAC before 1987, please use the "1986 - Prior" method.
Parchment is asking for my school/transcript "Unique Barcode ID." What is this?
Most orders do not require a barcode ID. If you're able to skip it, go ahead. Students
applying to the Common App for Transfer should check their Common App site for a barcode
ID. Students applying to the Law School Admission Council should use the numbers following
the "L" in their LSAC account number. Other situations may require a specific number
or code. Please email [email protected] or call 410-778-7299 with questions.
I don't see my question here. Who should I contact?
Please email [email protected], or call 410-778-7299. Students on campus are welcome to come to our offices on the ground floor of Bunting
Hall, M-F 8:30am-4:30pm.
