What to do if your transcript is wrong? ›

The school must communicate information about how to obtain your academic transcripts once the location has been determined. If you didn't receive your transcripts, you'll need to contact the Department of Education in your school's state.

Find the college or university you want to send your transcript to by entering all or part of the name. You can filter the results by using the optional institution type field, state or country fields.

Is Parchment legit for transcripts? ›

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law enacted in 1974 that protects the privacy of student education records. Parchment handles all requests and access to FERPA protected records in a secure and compliant manner, always requiring consent as needed and preventing unauthorized disclosure.

Store a copy of your transcript in your account

The transcript stored in your Parchment account will not update automatically, so you would need to request to have the latest version of your transcript delivered to your Parchment account.

Complete the application for your intended degree.

If you're applying to a bachelor's degree program at Parsons School of Design, Parsons Paris, Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts, Mannes School of Music, the School of Jazz and Contemporary Music, or the School of Drama, you should submit the Common Application.

Falsifying and fraudulent use of school documents

It's also unlawful for anyone to use a falsified or altered diploma/transcript/GED with the intent to defraud or mislead another person. This offense is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year of jail time and $1,000 in fines.

If your college has the option of retaking a course and having the new grade substitute the old one in GPA calculations, you can do that (depending upon the college's rules, the old grade may or may not remain on your transcript, but your GPA will use the new grade rather than the old one).

If you've taken classes previously and you've done poorly, some schools will give you options. They might get rid of your old courses if you take a new set of classes. They might remove them from your transcript and expunge them.

Once you send a document to a college you may make adjustments to that document and resend it, but it will need to be sent as a new document. Think of this in the way that you send an email.
