Do you need a copy of your high school transcript to apply to college, find a job, or for your own personal use? If so, we’ve got you covered! In this article, we’ll teach you how to request a transcript in just a few simple steps, whether you’re a student or a graduate. We’ll also provide some tips for how to obtain an online copy for free (plus, how to receive your transcript if your school is no longer in operation).
Things You Should Know
To request a high school transcript online, look at the alumni or student services page on your school’s website; most schools let you print an unofficial copy for free.
Use a third-party service like Parchment to send a copy of your transcript to any college or employer; you will have to pay a processing fee between $3-10.
You can also obtain a copy of your transcript from a private or closed high school by contacting your state department of education.
