Requesting Records via Parchment
Ubah Medical Academy has partnered with Parchment to order and send your transcript and other credentials securely. This is to make the process efficient so your transcript can be sent right away, and you'll be able to track your transcript to see if and when it was sent and delivered! Below are instructions on how to create an account, as well as what you need to know about requesting transcripts with the Common App using this new system.
Parchment Direct Order Records Link
You will need to request a transcript to be sent to each college:
When you first apply
Mid-year (depending on the college; they may or may not require it)
After you graduate (final transcript sent to college you’ll be attending)
Unless you’re only using the Common Application. If applying via Common App, you don't need to request your transcript.
Application Fee Waivers and Letters of Recommendation
Current students can request an application fee waiver to be sent to colleges via Parchment if they've sent Ms. Nicole a completed NACAC Fee Waiver Form. Students should fill out the "Student" section of the form and send it to the school counselor at elisha.schaibley@umahs.org. Teachers and other recommenders should send their letters of recommendation to Ms. Nicole the school counselor as well. Completed letters of recommendation can be ordered via Parchment to be sent to colleges and scholarship emails as well.
Former Students and Third Parties
Alumni and third parties can request records via Parchment for a small fee. Parchment is the only way these records can be ordered and sent. We do not take requests via email, over the phone, or through the Google Form. www.parchment.com/u/registration/32540462/account

How to Sign Up for Parchment
You must have a Parchment account to order your academic records. You can sign up for a free account in one of two easy ways:
Use the Order records link or button show above.
OR you can sign up by going to Parchment.com and click the drop down in the search bar next to 'I would Like to'. In the drop down of options, select 'Order my transcript and credentials'. In the 'Order From' search, enter Ubah Medical Academy. Once you find our school, fill in all the fields (name, date of birth, etc).
Check the box if you are a parent/guardian. You will then enter the student's information.
Your password must be at least 7 characters long.
If you are not yet in college, you will get the option to share your information with colleges. If you opt-in, this means that we will make some of the information you provide to us available to a variety of academic institutions and programs, and then they can send you information about them.
After clicking Sign up, check your email for the verification code and then enter it into the screen you were just on. Now you can start ordering records.
Ordering Records
Click the green Order button. If you don't see this, then you haven't added Ubah to your account. To do this, click + Add another school or organization you attended.
Select your destination.
You can search for a destination, or enter a mailing or email address manually. This means the college, scholarship email address, Common App, or other place you'd like to send your transcript to. It can also be to yourself if you are ordering it for your personal use.
You'll land on the Order Details page.
To wait until your next grades are in before sending your transcript, select Hold for Grades from the drop-down menu.
To send your transcript to another destination, click + Add Another Destination.
Your total charges appear on the right side, and include any shipping fees. Sending electronically is free, but you will have to pay a small fee if you are mailing the transcript.
Click Save & Continue.
Review your order. To make any changes, click Edit Order. Otherwise, click Continue.
You are now on the Provide Consent page. If you've provided consent previously, you may not have to do anything here. Otherwise, this is where you (or your parent/guardian) authorizes Parchment to release your transcript from your school.
Use your mouse or stylus to sign your name in the box.
Type your name into the box and check the box to confirm that you are authorized to order the transcript.
For minors, a parent must sign in the box, type their name, and check the box that certifies they are authorized to order the transcript. However, if you are a minor and ordering your college transcript, you can sign.
Click Save & Continue.
You will make a payment, if applicable (we accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express). Enter your payment and billing information and click Checkout.
