How it works
Ordering from high schools using Parchment
1. Check email
Once you submit your application, you will receive an email from Parchment. If your high school uses Parchment, this email has a link to request your transcript. Make sure to click on the link in the email to ensure it is connected to your application.
2. Request transcript
Follow the instructions at the link to request your transcript or other completion documents. You will need to log in with the email you used to submit your application. If you don’t have an account, you will be prompted to create an account. Watch instruction video. Depending on your high school, you may see a request fee that covers the secure delivery, tracking, and support of your request.
3. Pass the torch
After you complete your request, your counselor will receive an email from Parchment asking them to send your transcript or any other documents that are required to complete your application. When your counselor uploads these documents, they will be connected to your college application for delivery to the college you are applying to.
4. Call it a day
You and your counselor will both receive automated delivery updates, providing everyone involved with the peace of mind that the college has what it needs to complete the application. And that’s all there is to it! You’re good to go!
What if my high school does not use Parchment?
If your high school does not use Parchment, unfortunately you will not be able to place an order through Parchment and you will need to reach out to your school counselor for alternative steps to get your transcript where it needs to go. You can encourage your counselor to join the Parchment Network by sending them to sign up here.
What is a participating high school?
Most high schools have a Parchment or SENDedu powered by Parchment account and can fulfill your transcript and completion documents. You will receive an email after submitting your request indicating whether your high school is a participant or not.
