How to Order UW Transcripts

A Record of Achievement

A transcript is a record of student achievement at the University of Washington and classes taken at any UW campus will appear on one transcript. The University of Washington has partnered with Parchment to accept and process online orders for official transcripts for all three UW campuses. Students, former students, and alumni are able to order official transcripts 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. Official transcripts can be sent electronically or mailed in hard-copy format.

What has changed: Official transcripts can no longer be ordered via MyUW or campus Registrar or Registration offices, nor available for in-person pickup.

Ordering Transcripts

Transcript Fees

Payment is processed by Parchment and “College Transcript” will appear as the credit card preauthorization and/or transaction.

Identity Verification & UW NetID

Parchment requires student identity verification and transcript order authorization in order to comply with FERPA regulations. Students may authenticate their identity by being logged in with their UW NetID which allows for quicker verification by Parchment. However, a UW NetID is not required to place a transcript order. Students will be asked to provide personal identification markers that Parchment will use to match with UW student identity records.

Parchment Parchment [UW NETID]

UWNetID recovery requires a UW Student Number (UWID) and Private Access Code (PAC). Please contact Office of the University Registrar at regoff@uw.edu for assistance with forgotten student numbers or PACs.

Students Who Attended Prior to 1983

Records for students who attended the University of Washington prior to 1983 may be on microfilm. And thanks to the enhancements of Parchment these students may now request and receive electronic transcripts. While placing a transcript order, please provide as much information as possible to assist in locating records, such as:

• Approximate dates of attendance
• Other names (e.g., maiden, married, name changes)

Special Service Requests

Transcript Order Holds

Students may request a transcript order be held until grades or degrees have posted. However, students are encouraged to check their unofficial transcript prior to placing an order with Parchment to:

• Verify grades have posted from recent quarter(s)
• Verify a degree has been awarded and its conferral date
• Verify grade changes have been posted

The Office of the Registrar will not authorize a reprint or reorder, for free, of official transcripts because of a failure to do so.

Transcript Matching Forms

Students sending their transcripts to application services such as AMCAS, LSAC, NCARB, SOPHAS, AACOMAS or other professional certification, examination, and licensing agencies will be able to provide any application service ID or upload required forms while ordering through Parchment. Parchment provides a list of established agencies to select from within the order form.

Parchment Customer Service

Parchment representatives are available from 5:00 am to 5:00 pm (PST), Mon-Fri, at 547-716-3005 to answer questions or help with ordering transcripts online. Students may also check the status of their order by visiting Parchment Self-ServicePlus and entering their order number.
