Transcripts
How to Request Your Transcript
CIU has partnered with Parchment to make the process of requesting your transcript easy and secure. This convenient system allows you to submit your order at any time. Here’s how to get started.
Submit Your Request Online
To order an official transcript, visit Parchment’s online Transcript Ordering Service. You can choose to receive your transcript electronically or as a physical copy.
Payment
You will need a debit or credit card to pay for your transcript request, but you won’t be charged until the transcript is processed. The pricing for transcripts vary based on your requested delivery method.
Processing Time
Transcript requests are typically processed within 3 to 5 business days. You will receive email updates throughout the process. (Please allow additional time for mailing if you request a paper copy.)
Order Updates
You can check the status of your order and view your order history online through Parchment. You will also receive email notifications regarding the status of your request.
Official vs. Unofficial Transcripts: What’s the Difference?
- Official – Transcripts sent directly to a third party are considered official upon delivery. If you request a mailed copy, it remains official if sealed and unopened.
- Unofficial – Transcripts sent to you are considered unofficial unless they are in a sealed envelope that has not been opened.
Tip: Need quick access to a copy of your unofficial transcript? If you still have access to the MyCIU student portal, you can download a copy directly from the portal.
Request a Replacement Diploma
If you find that you need another copy of your CIU diploma for any reason, the process is easy. Simply submit your request via Parchment, and your replacement will be mailed to you.
