Transcripts requested online are sent securely and directly to the colleges, universities, scholarship funds, or any other destination selected by the students including email addresses to any individual, company or institution. Please note, all fees must be paid prior to final transcript requests being processed.

Graduating Class of 2021 now have the opportunity to request their final transcripts easily through Parchment!
Here are some details and FAQ’s:
- What is a final transcript? A document that includes all high school courses taken by a student, grades, credits, GPA and graduation date. No SAT or ACT test scores are listed on a student’s transcript as they are only official reports coming directly from ACT or SAT. If you need your ACT scores go to http://www.act.org/ and if you need your SAT scores go to https://www.collegeboard.org/ to request your score reports.
- When will final transcripts be available? Final transcripts will be available on Tuesday, June 2, 2021. This is when the district office will update Skyward with the graduation dates, second semester grades and percentile bands for all three D230 high schools.
- How to request a final transcript? Seniors should log into their Parchment account and request their final transcript as soon as they have made their college decision or any post High School direction that requires a final transcript. Students must select “Hold for Grades” when requesting their final transcripts prior to June 2, 2021. After this date, you will select “Send Now”.
- Is there a cost? Not until August 1st, 2021. After that, there will be a small charge ($3-$6). If you are being assessed a fee before August 1st please check your Parchment account to make sure you have your graduation year listed as 2021. Any Parchment account with a graduation year of 2020 or earlier will be charged a processing fee as an alumni.
- Will students still have access to their District 230 email account after graduation? No. Students will need to update their Parchment accounts with their personal email if they used their d230.org email when they originally set up their Parchment account. VERY IMPORTANT: Students will need to update their Parchment account with their personal email before graduation on May 22, 2021. Please follow these instructions: Update email info on Parchment
- What if I am joining the military, a trade union, or entering the workforce? Graduates can request a copy of their final transcript to be mailed to their home address or work address through Parchment. Also, if an email address can be obtained from any institution, the final transcript can be sent from Parchment directly to them.
Best wishes and good luck, from the Andrew Guidance Department!
