For quick and easy transcript ordering, including official electronic transcripts, we recommend using Parchment Award Transcript Services. Parchment requests are processed daily, and all requests submitted before 3 p.m. will be processed that same day.
You now have the option to request an electronic copy of your official transcript be sent as an email to you or the recipient of your choice as a secure, encrypted document. The new parchment service has a $3.00 fee for each transaction. It is guaranteed to be safe, and fast and offers follow-ups on delivery. The service fee is for all standard official electronic transcripts. For an additional fee, you may also request paper copies via mail, express domestic, and international service via express carriers.
For all transcript-related questions, contact Aaron Kaiser at kaisera@denison.edu or call 740-587-5045 at the Office of the Registrar.
Policy Overview
The Registrar’s Office is responsible for the maintenance of student academic records and the issuing of academic transcripts. In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-568) (also known as FERPA or the “Buckley Amendment”) personnel in the Office of the Registrar will issue transcripts only upon the written consent of the student. The few and rare exceptions to this directive are outlined in the legislation and have been shared with students in a policy statement included with registration materials each fall semester.
The following principles govern the issuance of transcripts and should be of interest to requestors:
- There are no Denison charges for the issuance of transcripts.
- “Holds” may be placed on the issuance of transcripts if the student has unpaid financial obligations to the institution. Contact the Cashier’s office at (740) 587-6274 to resolve holds.
- Transcripts are processed in the order they are received. Unless you have an outstanding financial obligation to the College or other hold on your record, your request will be processed within 48 hours, except during office peak times and high volume. Processing time does not reflect delivery time.
- Due to confidentiality concerns, we do not fax transcripts out.
- If your name has changed since you attended Denison University, be sure to inform the recipient of your previous names. This will assist them when matching the transcript to your file.
