As of January, 2021, we have transitioned from mailing transcripts via postal mail to utilizing Parchment to send student transcripts! 

What is Parchment?
Parchment is a digital credential service that allows us to send student and alumni transcripts and diplomas via an electronic platform that is FERPA compliant! 

How does it work?
Parchment sends transcripts to receiving institutions when schools approve the order and upload the transcript records to Parchment. Parchment notifies the student, via email, as soon as the school has made the student’s records available to Parchment. Parchment sends the electronic transcript immediately. 

Benefits of Parchment:

• Students/alumni can request records at any time
• There is no charge for high school students to have transcripts sent electronically. 
• Automated notifications are sent to students when transcripts are processed and received.
• Faster transcript delivery to Michigan and nationwide colleges, other participating secondary schools, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the military, scholarship programs, and more!
• Once an account is created, students can view their own transcripts, allowing them to more easily complete college and scholarship applications!
• Within the Parchment Exchange system, the student has the ability to enter the online college application tracking number supplied when the application was submitted. The application tracking number will then be placed onto the e-Transcript when moving forward to enable the college to easily match up the online application with the electronic transcript.

Cost?
Parchment is funded by CEPI (Center for Educational Performance Information), a division of the State Budget Office in the Department of Technology, Management and Budget. 

• Current students: Parchment is absolutely FREE to use!
• Alumni: Parchment charges a small processing fee for each credential request. No additional fees are charged by Nouvel. The alumni charge begins August 1 of the student's high school graduation year.

FAQ:
How many transcripts can a student order at once?
A student can select as many receiving institutions as he/she wishes at one time. A student can also log in again at any time to request transcripts for additional institutions.

Can a parent/guardian order a transcript for a student?
If the student is under 18 years of age, the student’s parent/guardian can order transcripts.

Do all colleges and universities accept transcripts from Parchment?
Parchment sends records to all colleges and universities in the United States, as well as to many scholarship funds that also require transcripts. Parchment regularly updates the list of accredited agencies and appreciates your suggestions for colleges not currently available on the site

How long will it take to process an order?
Electronic transcripts are delivered within minutes after the school administrator processes the order. The receiving institution then downloads the transcript periodically, or automatically routes the document to their server. Additionally, you can access your Parchment account to track your orders

How do I order?
To order transcripts online, all a student needs is an email address. If any fees apply, a credit or debit card may be required for payment. 

There are two easy ways to order your transcripts through Parchment:
