WCL Law School Students
Current and former Law students may泭only泭order transcripts on the泭WCL website.
Transcript requests cannot be held for the posting of grades, certificates, or degree awards. Before requesting the transcript, current students should check their unofficial transcript through Eagle Service to make sure everything has been posted. If a grade or degree has not been posted before making the request, another request for an official transcript will have to be made.
Electronic Delivery
Electronic delivery (cost: $5): While electronic transcripts are widely accepted, confirm with your recipients that they will accept this format before ordering.泭A printed copy of a PDF transcript is not official, and institutions often require electronic transcripts be transmitted directly from Parchment to their requested inbox.
Official Paper Delivery
Official paper delivery (cost: $7.50): A paper transcript is official only as long as it remains in its sealed envelope. Do not open the sealed envelope if you are forwarding the document to another party (an institution, employer or other person). Open the envelope only if you have ordered the transcript for personal use.泭You may order paper transcripts to be direct mailed to your intended recipient or to be picked up at the Office of the Registrar.
If your intended recipient is also a Parchment user, you should be able to search for them in the search bar under Set Delivery Destination. If the institution is not there, or you have a specific email or mailing address you would like the transcript sent to (including your own), you may use the Im sending to myself or another individual option to put in a custom delivery destination.
Additional documents can be sent along with your transcript to the intended recipient using the attachment feature during the order process. If the document you intend to attach needs to be completed by the Office of the Registrar first, please submit it to transcript_services@american.edu prior to placing your order and the document will be completed and returned to you so you can proceed with ordering.
You will be presented the following option after setting your delivery destination:After clicking on Add An Attachment, you can select your file by clicking the box below and navigating to the files location on your computer or by dragging and dropping the file into the box:

An unofficial transcript泭is an uncertified copy of a student's academic record. It may be printed by the student. It does not carry the Registrar's official seal or signature. The unofficial transcript provides students with a place to view current GPAs, completed courses, and courses in which they are currently enrolled.
