The academic transcript is an official record for current students and alumni of Washington University in St. Louis.
We partner with Parchment to issue official transcripts. You may order a transcript 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and you can track the status of your order online at any time.
In most cases, electronic and paper transcript requests are delivered within two business days. Please allow additional processing time for legacy records prior to 1980 and immediately following graduation ceremonies.
Current students and alumni will create a profile in Parchment before placing a transcript order. The profile setup is a one-time process and can be completed using any email address.
Please note that the Office of the University Registrar does not accept transcripts from other institutions. Coursework that is transferring from other institutions needs to be sent directly to your school’s academic office. Similarly, Washington University does not release nor certify copies of transcripts or other academic documents received from other institutions.

Transcript Processing & Other Info
Electronic delivery documents are sent immediately to the recipient. Both the sender (student) and recipient of the transcript(s) will receive communication from Parchment regarding the transmission of the transcript. If you do not receive the notification within 24 hours, check your junk or spam folder.
Electronic transcripts are delivered to the requested recipient as a secure PDF document which the recipient will be required to download. Secure PDF documents contain blue ribbon security features. The blue ribbon symbol (seen at the top of the file when opened in Adobe Reader) is your assurance that the digital signature is valid, and the contents of the document have not been altered. Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat have the best compatibility.
Paper transcripts are delivered via the service selected by the requester. Transcripts may be sent using the United States Postal Service (USPS) First Class Mail, which does not provide a tracking number to monitor the status of the delivery. For an additional cost, students can ship a transcript with tracking or other expedited shipping options. Paper transcripts can also be picked up at the Office of the Registrar with valid photo ID. Transcripts will be retained in the office for 60 days and will be destroyed if not picked up within that timeframe.

Partial transcripts may be issued in certain circumstances. If a student was enrolled in multiple levels of degree programs (Bachelors, Masters, PhD, Law, Medicine) it may be possible to send transcripts of only one level of study. For instance, Law students who also earned an undergraduate degree may request only their Law School transcript. If different degrees were pursued at the same time (i.e. MSW and MBA, BS and MS) it may not be possible to separate coursework. Coursework also cannot be separated within a degree program such that select terms are omitted. In any case, all degrees awarded at WashU will be on the transcript, and a Remark on the transcript will note that it is a partial transcript (unless omitted coursework is from the Med School).
