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 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.

Sales Tax on Credential Requests
Sales tax is collected on certain document requests, including transcripts and diplomas, in compliance with federal, state, and local tax laws. This may affect the total cost of your request based on various factors such as document type, delivery method, and location. Before completing your order, you will be provided with a breakdown of all charges, including applicable taxes, to ensure total transparency.
Student Record Name on Transcript
Official transcripts display the same name that is associated with your Student Record Name in the University’s student database (SDB). Please keep this in mind while entering your information when placing your order on Parchment. Be sure to include any previous names if you have changed your name since attending UW.
Student Name in other Systems
Students with a different name on file with the Alumni Association or another UW organization, or in case of current or previous UW employment (including student employment), the name that displays on your MyUW Profile and the transcript ordering page may be different than what is in the student database.

Students Who Attended Prior to 1983
Official Transcript – before 1983
Records for students who attended the University of Washington prior to 1983 may be on microfilm. Thanks to the enhancements of Parchment, these students may now request and receive official, 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)
Unofficial Transcript – before 1983
Students who attended prior to 1983 and are seeking an unofficial transcript, these documents cannot be obtained via Parchment and cannot be emailed. Please contact the Registration Team for assistance with requesting your unofficial transcripts.
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 University 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 Support
Parchment representatives are available from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. (PST), Monday-Friday, to answer questions or help with ordering transcripts.
