Transcripts

Sending Official Transcript to Colleges or Scholarship Agencies

Your official transcript is an important part of your college application. Many colleges partner with Parchment, a website our Registrar uses to send transcripts. When you have decided what college(s) you're applying to, go to Parchment, create a free account, and order your official transcript sent to the college(s). (It may seem that you'll be charged money, but you won't.)

Parchment Do's & Don'ts:

  • Use your personal email for this and all things related to college! (Your APS Gmail will go away when you graduate.)
  • Do type the full name of the college when you're searching for where to send your official transcript (e.g., University of New Mexico, not UNM)
  • Do take your time creating your account; if you make errors, it could be a big problem!
  • Don't send an UNofficial transcript to a college; it's fine to order one just for yourself.
  • Remember: you're ordering your official transcript; our Registrar will then send it to each college you select. You are not uploading or sending the college your transcript yourself!

Final Transcripts

When you decide which college you'll be attending, order your FINAL transcript to prove to that college that you've graduated. Go to Parchment, order the transcript, and select "hold for grades", so the Registrar knows to send it after your final grades are in and the graduation date is printed on the transcript.

Exceptions To Using Parchment

If you're applying to out-of-state colleges that use Common Application, Coalition Application or other specialized applications, Ms. Velhagen or your counselor (whoever you are working with on your recommendation) will upload your transcript, so DON'T request it from Parchment in this case.

Unofficial Transcripts

You can print your unofficial transcript from the Course History tab in ParentVUE and StudentVUE. If your GPA and class rank are not available in this format, you can order one sent to yourself via Parchment or email your counselor for a copy of your unofficial transcript.
