Need to Request Your Official Transcript?

The Registrar's Office offers quick, easy, secure electronic transcript services to our students and alumni through Parchment. 

Official vs. Unofficial Transcripts

There are two types of transcripts:

  • official transcripts
  • unofficial transcripts

Official Transcripts

Official transcripts are your record of all coursework, grades and degrees conferred at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏÂÛ̳. All requests for official transcripts are processed electronically through Parchment. 

Unofficial Transcripts

Unofficial transcripts are meant only for personal or advising purposes and may contain some "advising" information that will not appear on your official transcript. Unofficial transcripts do not contain the College seal or official signature and will not be accepted by other institutions or employers as proof of enrollment or graduation. Unofficial transcripts are obtained via the MyÏã¸ÛÁùºÏÂÛ̳ portal.

Requesting Transcripts

Please Note: We are unable to accept transcript requests over the phone or by email. 

How to Request an Official Transcript

Requesting an official transcript is the quickest and most efficient way to obtain an official copy of your academic record, and all such requests must be made online through . All current and former Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏÂÛ̳ students can use Parchment to send official transcripts electronically or on paper to themselves, educational institutions, potential employers, or any other place of their choosing. If you choose the paper option within Parchment, your transcript will be sealed. Other institutions will only accept the paper transcript as official if it is unopened.

Please Note: Transcript orders will not be processed for students with financial holds on their records. Please email the Bursar's Office, bursar@ric.edu, to determine how your hold can be removed.
