Transcripts
Will I receive a tracking number for my paper transcript order?
You will only receive a tracking number if you select Priority or Express delivery. Standard USPS delivery does not provide a tracking number and refunds will not be provided if USPS fails to deliver.
How do E-transcripts work?
When an order for an E-transcript is fulfilled, the recipient will receive two emails - one to generate a passcode and one with a url to enter the passcode and download the E-transcript. The recipient may access and download the E-transcript up to three time before the url expires.
If the recipient encounters problems with the E-transcript download it is recommended to clear the internet browser cache and ensure the most up to date Adobe software edition is installed.
Can I forward my E-transcript to someone else?
E-transcripts can only be sent to the “recipient” email address. Having it sent to you and attempting to forward it nullifies it as an official transcript.
How do I know if my transcript has been sent or received?
The Parchment Support website has informational videos and FAQs regarding placing an order and tracking an order, as well as contact information for questions about a mailed transcript order.
Can my transcript be notarized?
Yes. When placing your transcript order, take the following steps to request your transcript be notarized:
As a parent, can I request a transcript for my child?
No. Under the regulations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), only students have access to their education records. When a student turns 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level, access to his or her education records becomes legally exclusive to the student.
Can I have a friend or family member pick up my transcript?
Yes - when placing your transcript order, select a transcript type of “Pick-up.” Students must send a written request as an email attachment to registrar@yale.edu asking for the release of a transcript to a specific friend or family member. This written request must be signed by the student.
Can I get an unofficial transcript?
Unofficial transcripts are available for current students in Yale Hub.
Can I include other documents with my transcript when it is mailed?
During the transcript ordering process, you will be given the opportunity to upload any of the following documents in PDF, JPG, or JPEG formats to be included with the transcript mailing:
- PharmCAS
- LSAC
- AMCAS
- SOPHAS
- Scholarship applications
