Transcript Request Process
Oak Park Unified School District is now partnering with Parchment to provide a secure, and confidential eTranscript service. Available 24/7, students and alumni can request official high school transcripts online and send it to the college/destination of their choice.
Costs:
- Current Students: There are no costs for current OPUSD students.
- Alumni: A $10 fee will be included for system and staff processing to alumni.
- Third-party Requesters: A $45 fee will be included for system and staff processing to third-party requesters.
Types of Transcripts:
- Official: Sealed for colleges/employers.
- Unofficial: For personal use.
How it Works:
| Current Seniors, follow the steps on the Seniors - Transcript Request Process document. |
Alumni and 3rd Party Requests:
- PLACE YOUR ORDER - Parchment has linked thousands of high schools around the country with the vast majority of colleges to send and receive transcripts electronically.
- SCHOOL PREPARES TRANSCRIPT - Parchment works with your school to ensure your transcript is uploaded and ready for delivery.
- TRANSCRIPT IS DELIVERED - Your transcript is sent electronically or by mail. You can track the status of your order and view a saved copy.
Order Status - You may click on the Order Status tab to view the current status of any transcript you have already ordered. You will also receive emails confirming the progress of your transcript requests.
Important: Create Your Parchment Account with a Personal Email Address
When setting up or updating your Parchment account for transcript requests, please use a personal email address (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo) rather than your student school email (@opusd.org).
Why a personal email is required:
- Long-Term Access After Graduation: School email accounts are deactivated after graduation. Using a personal email ensures you can log in to view or order your transcripts years down the road without losing access.
- Consolidated Academic Records: If you take courses through other institutions that also use Parchment (such as Moorpark College or APEX), using one personal email keeps all your transcript records connected under a single, unified account.
