Order Transcripts
Lower Columbia College has partnered with Parchment to order and send your transcript and other credentials securely. This link will open a new browser.
- You can select the recipient of your transcript from a list of colleges, or have it sent to any email address you choose.
- Select the transcript recipient carefully. Most institutions require electronic transcripts to be sent directly to them. If you order an electronic transcript sent to yourself, your school may not accept it.
- Upload any additional documents (scholarship applications, law school or nursing forms) you would like to include with your transcript when creating your Parchment order.
- Order updates will be emailed to you. You can also track your order online.
Frequently Asked Questions
Transcript orders are generally processed by LCC within five business days. Processing may take up to 10 business days during periods of high volume, especially the weeks before and after spring graduation. Orders are processed in the order the requests are received. Ordering your transcript early will ensure it is delivered to the recipient on time.
After LCC processes your order, Parchment will fulfill it:
Electronic Delivery: The transcript will be delivered by Parchment within a few minutes of LCC processing.
Mail Delivery: Parchment will generate and mail the transcript to you the following day. Mail delivery time depends on your location and USPS shipping times, which can vary.
Because electronic transcripts are faster and can be tracked more easily, we recommend using electronic delivery if the recipient permits it.
Hold for Grades or Degree: When you place your order, you can choose to have the transcript sent after the current term ends or after your degree is awarded. After grades are posted, it takes approximately two weeks to post all degrees. Allow for at least three weeks after grades post for your transcripts to be processed.
When ordering your transcript, you will choose between immediate delivery of your current transcript, or you can specify that you want the order to be processed only after grades are posted or after your degree is awarded.
Please be aware it may be two weeks after grades post before degrees are posted to transcript, and up to three weeks for those transcript orders to be processed.
An official transcript is the college or university's certified statement of your academic record. The official paper transcript is printed on security paper and contains the official seal and signature of the college or university's registrar. Official transcripts (on paper) are always sealed and unopened.
Only you may request the release of your official transcripts. Transcripts will not be released to another party or institution without your prior written consent.
Yes, LCC can now send official transcripts electronically! When ordering your transcript you will select whether you want it delivered directly to a school electronically (no email address required), or to a specific recipient email address.
We strongly recommend the electronic delivery option – your transcript can’t get lost in the mail, you can track the order at every step, and many recipient schools process incoming electronic transcripts more quickly than paper ones.
