How to send your transcripts.
At some point during the application process, you will need to request and provide a transcript to your prospective school. Fortunately, Indiana has made this process free and easy. Below are some tips on how to send transcripts.
High School Transcripts
Indiana e-Transcript enables Indiana students to send their high school transcripts electronically to ANY school worldwide. It’s safe, secure, convenient (24/7), and free.
This service is provided to Indiana students and families by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (ICHE) and the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE).
Most high school transcripts may be ordered from Parchment. To request a high school transcript, use this link: https://www.parchment.com/students/order-status/.
If your high school has been closed or consolidated, you will need to contact the school district office to request your transcript.

History of Indiana e-Transcript
The Indiana e-Transcript Initiative was developed in 2005 as a partnership between the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (ICHE) and the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE). Indiana was the first state in the Midwest to adopt e-Transcript and other states have followed its lead. HEA 1341, passed by the 2013 Indiana General Assembly, established the e-Transcript initiative by statue and called for a common high school transcript to be developed by the IDOE in collaboration with ICHE. ICHE employs Parchment, Inc., to deliver this electronic transcript-exchange-system service throughout the state. The service is made possible by an appropriation from the General Assembly.
