Transcript Requests for All Grade Levels
What is a transcript?
A transcript is a detailed record of a student's high school academic career. Transcripts show courses a student has taken, semester grades for those courses, and credits earned. Transcripts may also show a student's GPA and rank. For details on GPA and rank, refer to the LISD Course Catalog.
Transcripts are only updated at the completion of each semester. Semester grades are included on the transcript, not individual cycle grades. Updated transcripts are not automatically uploaded into Parchment. Once GPA and rank are published in Naviance, placing an order in Parchment to the student's email is a good way to keep a current transcript available.
Leander ISD uses Parchment for students to access, send, and track delivery of their transcripts.
Creating a Parchment Account (all grade levels)
Using the VHS Parchment link to create a "New Learner Account" will autofill Vandegrift as the home campus. If the VHS logo is not visible on the Parchment home screen, it is important to add Vandegrift High School as the school from which to request your transcript. Click Profile/Account Settings/Transcripts to add Vandegrift.
Students can reference this Parchment Registration Video or refer to these brief instructions for assistance in creating an account.
Requesting/Viewing Transcripts (all grade levels)
From their Parchment account, students can send their transcript to any destination.
Click the blue Order button
Send to College or Institution: Use the search bar to locate the school or institution (e.g. Texas State, NCAA, Common Application). Choose the correct destination, paying close attention to the full description (e.g. undergraduate or graduate admissions and campus location)
Send to yourself, a college coach, summer program, scholarship: Click "I'm sending to myself or another individual" under the search bar and choose yourself or other individual. Choose to send your transcript electronically (to enter an email address) or by US Mail.
Place all Parchment orders at least 2 school/business weeks prior to application deadlines. This may be much more than 2 calendar weeks.
Class of 2024 and 2023 - Please see additional information below.
Reminder: Transcripts are updated at the completion of each semester, not each cycle
Additional Transcript Information for the Class of 2024
Transcript requests for 2024 college admissions will begin to be processed August 1, 2023. Please use your existing Parchment account to place orders instead of creating new accounts. If your student does not have an account, students can create one following the instructions above.
To complete college applications, you can use your final report card from this school year for information about your junior year classes along with your transcript from Parchment.
For all Common Application schools, place one Parchment order to Common Application (not the individual schools) after adding your correct alpha counselor: VHS Counseling Services - Meet our Team to your Common App account. THIS SHOULD NOT BE DONE PRIOR TO AUGUST 1, as that is the date Common App opens for 2023-2024 college applications. Adding the counselor to your Common Application account enables Parchment to connect to your account and allows the counselor to complete the required School Report. You will also need to complete the Senior Pathways Info Form which will be available soon.
If you are considering WITHHOLDING your class rank:
Review the LISD Class Rank Information and determine if you wish to withhold rank.
To withhold rank from your transcript, a Withhold Rank Google Form must be completed the prior to ordering your transcript via Parchment.
Transcripts ordered with no Google Form on file will identify class rank.
Final High School Transcripts // Seniors and Alumni
Transcripts are finalized in June of students' graduation year. Parchment maintains alumni transcripts and can be used by all former VHS students. If you are unable to login to your Parchment account, alumni can attempt to create a "New Learner Account". If this results in an error, please contact Parchment to ask that your account be cleared so you can create a new one: Parchment Customer Service at 1-847-716-3005 or online at https://www.parchment.com/chat-support .
