Reviewing & Sending Transcripts to College(s)

The fastest and most effective way to get a transcript sent to a college is to sign up through www.parchment.com. See the Parchment Quick Start Guide below for complete details on how to order/view the following:

• An official copy of your transcript  
• Your free unofficial personal view of a transcript 

Once you've set up your account, you can order a transcript from any computer, any time of day. This option allows the college to receive your information quickly and in a way that can be retrieved later if it is lost. The initial sign up process will take about 10 - 15 minutes, but after that a transcript can be ordered in a couple of minutes.

Review the Parchment Guide for how to order Transcripts.

After Graduation

Sending your final transcript is a crucial step as it can prevent future enrollment & award of financial aid from your college. Your college has to have proof that you graduated and your final transcript will list your graduation date along with the past semester’s grades & ACT scores, so this is extremely important! 

 In the spring of senior year, once you decide which institution you want your final official West High transcript to be sent to you can request it via parchment & select hold for grades (see Parchment Quick Start Guide below for complete details). Final official transcripts for graduating seniors are typically available starting June 1st.

Additionally, it is your responsibility to request an official transcript from each college you attended or received credit from. The college credit you attempted/received while in high school may help you qualify for additional scholarships.
