If you do not make proper arrangements, your college financial aid and registration process will be delayed. If you already know which school you’re attending, it’s not too early to make your request. To request a final transcript you must mark it as “next grading period” in the “transcript type” area on the parchment website. If you need assistance setting up a parchment account or information on how to make a request for a final transcript, see the Guidance Office.
