Parchment Online Requests

If you have questions or concerns about creating an account, the ordering process, order status, resetting your account or other issues, please log into  and visit the Parchment Help Center, where you can:

• Find answers to Frequently Asked Questions
• Read support articles
• Chat with ParchieBot, Parchment's intelligent chatbot
• Submit a support ticket. Parchment's Support Team is available M-F, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET.

Before requesting your transcript, please ensure that all your grades are posted, as transcript requests cannot be held for the posting of grades, certificates, or degree awards. If any grades or degrees are missing, you will need to request and pay for another official transcript.

Transcript Costs:

• Electronic copy: $10 each
• Paper hard copy: $15 each
• Payment must be made by credit or debit card.

Turnaround Time:

• If you use your correct Student ID, electronic transcripts are typically processed within 24 hours or less. Delays may occur if there is a hold on your record, in which case you will be notified by email.

Monetary Holds:

• If you have any monetary holds on your record, the system will not allow the transcript request to process. No transcript will be issued until the holds are resolved. You can check your unofficial transcript and holds online through the Student Center in my91³Ô¹Ï.

Conversion Holds:

• Archived student records from the quarter credit system (prior to 5-1-88) will need to be restored to current status, resulting in a processing delay due to a conversion hold being placed on the record.

Multiple ID Numbers:

• Student records with multiple ID numbers will need to have their ID numbers merged to include all completed coursework at 91³Ô¹Ï on one official transcript. A hold will be placed until the records are merged, leading to a processing delay.

Additional Notes:

• You can attach all required documents (e.g., for law or medical school admission services) using the attachment feature.
• All paper copy transcripts issued are official and sealed. Do not open your transcript if you plan to send it to a college or organization, as an opened transcript may be considered unofficial by most institutions.
• CEU/Non-Credit transcripts should be requested through your campus Workforce Development Office.

For questions about transcript content or graduation, please email the College Records Office at AsktheCRO@nvcc.edu.

14. How can I correct a duplicate ID service indicator on my record preventing me from obtaining an official transcript?
