Transcript Request
Official Transcripts
The University of the Incarnate Word has partnered with Parchment to provide a web-based transcript service. You may request a transcript be sent electronically, or by mail, and you may attach any required documents to your transcript request. The PDF transcript that is produced using this service contains the identical information as a paper transcript and can be certified as unaltered by uploading the file to the company's website. Parchment has also been granted the authority to respond to any inquiries regarding the transactions.
Please note: The University of the Incarnate Word does not release copies received from other institutions. If you need a transcript from a prior institution, you must contact that institution.
Please note: Records are not available electronically for students who attended prior to Fall 1996.
Transcripts will not be released if a student has a transcript or financial hold.

Holds
The University reserves the right to withhold transcripts for those students who have not met all conditions for admission or who have outstanding financial obligations.
Hold Transcript for Grades or Degree
Transcripts may be held for the current semester's grades or the next degree date. However, if you are expecting a grade change, do not order your transcript until you are sure the grade has been changed. The Registrar will not hold transcripts for maintenance or grade changes.
When Issued to the Student
Transcripts in electronic PDF format are sent directly from the institution in partnership with Parchment to the recipient through the Parchment platform. Email is not used to send transcripts since those are not deemed secure systems. Transcripts issued to student are intended for student use only and cannot be forwarded to a third-party recipient. Third parties requiring an official copy of the academic transcript should receive the academic transcript directly from the University through Parchment.
Transcripts bear the Registrar's signature and are printed on secured paper. Transcripts mailed directly from the University of Incarnate Word are official. Orders addressed to the student will have an outside envelope marked “official transcripts enclosed” and contain individually sealed transcripts inside. Each transcript will be stamped “Issued to the Student ” in red ink.
