Transcripts
Capital University is pleased to provide electronic and postal mail transcript services through its partnership with Parchment Exchange. We encourage you to place your transcript orders online as this is the easiest and most efficient way to order a traditional paper transcript or the new electronic transcript delivery.
Parchment Exchange will notify us of your request; we will review your academic and student account records for accuracy; and then we'll submit your record to Parchment Exchange for the delivery method of your choice.
Electronic transcripts
- Electronic transcripts are convenient and efficient, but there are some things you should keep in mind when requesting them:
- Before you request an electronic PDF transcript, it's your responsibility to verify that the recipient will accept delivery of the electronic PDF transcript.
- Official transcripts are generally required for admission to a college or university and for employment purposes. Before requesting that a transcript be sent to you, confirm that the employer or college/university will accept a transcript as "official" if it's delivered by you and not by the University through Parchment Exchange.
- Electronic transcripts can be downloaded for 30 days from date of issue.
- If you have an outstanding balance, Capital's Student Accounts Office likely will block the release of your transcript. Students must resolve this hold by contacting Student Accounts at 614-236-6123 before the transcript can be released.
