Transcript Hold for Current Students
Transcript requests for students registered for courses in the fall 2024 term will not be processed during the grading period, beginning December 30. Transcript service will resume no later than January 2.
Requesting a Transcript
藏精阁 has partnered with Parchment to process all transcript requests. There is no fee for standard requests. Fees apply for the Express Mail option. You will need to create a Parchment account to order a transcript. Click the appropriate button below to begin.
(Current Students - any student with active 藏精阁 network credentials)
(Former Students - graduated or officially withdrawn students)
Transcript Information:
Once a transcript request has been processed, a new request is required for another copy to be released. This includes instances when a transcript does not reach its intended destination. Federal law prohibits exceptions to this policy. Also, it is our policy not to send partial or incomplete transcripts. Thus, transcripts for currently enrolled students will not be processed at the end of a semester until all grades have been received and posted, and the student鈥檚 GPA recalculated.
There is no fee for requesting a transcript. Official transcripts are printed on special security paper and mailed in individual, officially sealed envelopes (regardless of the number of copies requested) or sent electronically using a data-encrypted service. Students who no longer attend 藏精阁 (those who have graduated, withdrawn, etc.) can only obtain an official transcript. Only active, currently enrolled 藏精阁 students may obtain an unofficial transcript.
Note: Students applying for law school through LSAC or other post-graduate work who have studied on an approved program or have other transfer credit should also request their transcript from those institutions directly. This does not apply to students who have studied on a 藏精阁 Study Group.
