Transcript for Dual credit through Ivy Tech
- If this is your first time using the online order system, please click Create Account and enter the required information. Once your account is created you will be able to request transcripts online and track the status of your orders.
- You will then choose to order a Transcript (either PDF or Print)
- You will then either search for a school by using the search box, or click on the “Send to yourself, another individual, or third party” link.
- If you search for a school, matching results will be displayed. You select the correct institution with the Select button.
- If the school is a Parchment receiving institution, it’s likely that the institution has specified that they wish to have the transcript sent electronically. “Electronic” will be pre-selected as the delivery mode. You may switch to a mailed transcript by clicking on the “Switch to Mail Delivery” link under the
document name. A pop-up will display notifying you that the institution prefers an electronic transcript; you may then accept the popup and send an electronic transcript, or continue to send a mailed transcript. There is a required “Purpose for Request” field that you must choose an option (“I prefer not to answer” is one of the options). There is a Parchment report that details what you have listed as the purpose for the request. You may also attach any additional documents here. NOTE: If you select a mailed transcript, there is not an option to add attachments. Attachments are only allowed with electronic delivery of transcripts. - You are presented with the shopping cart of orders. You may remove an order, continue ordering more transcripts, or check out at this point.

- You will have one last chance to review the order, view the charges, and then click Confirm.
