Transcripts

Your college academic record

What are Transcripts?

A record of your school career. You can find these on your transcript:

• The degree you earned and the date you earned it
• The courses you took and the grade you earned
• Your GPA

Unofficial vs. Official

Unofficial

These are for your records to reference only – you can get a copy of these on myBay if you are a current student up to a year after the last semester you attended. After that you will need to order an official copy

Reasons you might need an unofficial transcript:

• Reference your GPA or earned credits
• Meet with your next college’s advisor

Official

These must come from Bay College or Parchment to the person/place requesting an official transcript.

Reasons you might need an official transcript:

• Admission/Transfer at your next college
• Proof of credentials for a certification
• At employer request
• Applications into programs

A couple things to note about ordering an official transcript:

• If you have a financial obligation to Bay College, you will need to get that resolved before your transcript can be sent.
• There is a $5.00 fee for transcripts
• All transcripts sent through Parchment are official and need to be sent directly to the person/place requesting the transcript.
• If you’re unsure of your attendance dates approximate dates are acceptable
• Please verify the recipient information you provide is correct before finalizing order.
• Bay College will not provide refunds for transcripts that are sent to the wrong recipient email address or for downloads that have expired.

Parchment account information:

• If this is your first time ordering you will need to create an account.
• Use your personal email address to create this account.
• You will also need to provide the following:
  • Name
  • Address
  • Identifying information (date of birth, last 4 digits of your SSN)
