Forward Your Transcript
You may also now forward your transcript to an in-network receiver such as Law School Admission Council (LSAC) or AMCAS using the University’s online ordering service Forward My Transcript. After you're directed to this service's home page, enter your recipient into the search box to see if they are an in-network receiver and then select their preferred method of delivery.
Verification Forms
If you have a verification form that needs to be completed with Dates of Enrollment and/or Degree Awarded information, please go online, to Parchment, and place an order for either a paper mailed transcript or a paper mailed enrollment verification depending on your needs.
You will need to attach a pdf of the form that needs to be completed with your order. Make sure that you have completed your portion of the form before creating and attaching the pdf.
The documents will be printed together in our office, and we will complete the form before they are mailed. Please be aware that if we need to send the form to another office at the University to complete information that the Registrar’s Office cannot provide, mailing out your documents will be delayed until we receive the completed form back in our office.
Third Party Requests
Third party transcript/degree/enrollment verification requests can be made through Parchment Exchange Third Party Ordering. With the on-line ordering system, secure certified PDF transcripts and enrollment verifications can be ordered within minutes and then delivered within a few hours, unless there is an off-line record research hold. Mailed transcripts and enrollment verification requests are generally processed within 1-3 business days (up to 3-5 days for high volume periods).
Please visit www.parchment.com to create an account and place an order. You will be asked to upload a signed student consent form which will allow us to release the student’s information to you. Your request will not be processed unless the signed consent is attached.
Third party requests for degree or enrollment verification can also be made by contacting the National Student Clearing House at www.degreeverify.org or by mail to:

Official Transcript Section Description
Degrees Awarded
This section lists, in ascending order, each degree/certificate you have earned while enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh. Depending upon whether you have received an undergraduate or graduate degree, your degree information may include degree earned, confer date, University honors, plan major, minor or sub-plan. Your certificate information will include your certification program and date conferred.
Academic Program History
This section will specify your program and plan, including plan changes. If you are officially pursuing multiple programs, it will display the above information for each program and plan listed.
University of Pittsburgh Units
This section displays, in ascending chronological order, all of the courses in which you were enrolled (registered) and the grades issued for each term of attendance. Special notations are also indicated in this section of your transcript. The key to the special notations is printed on the back of each official transcript.
Grade Point Average (GPA)
Prior to the Fall Term 2005-2006, the University cumulative Quality Point Average (QPA) was calculated based on all University of Pittsburgh courses relevant to the student's degree goal(s). Effective with the Fall Term 2005-2006, the cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) is associated with credits completed at the Career Level. For additional GPA/QPA information, please see the University GPA/QPA policy.
Transfer Units
Transfer Units reflect course work you have completed at other institutions. When an academic center evaluates and accepts this class work, all or a portion of the class work may apply toward your degree requirements in that academic center. Only transfer units accepted from your current school will appear in this section of your transcript. If you transfer from one school to another within the University, your transfer units do not automatically transfer. Your transfer units will need to be re-evaluated and accepted by your new school.
When you earn your degree from the University of Pittsburgh, transfer units associated with your degree will become a permanent part of your transcript. In the event that you attain multiple degrees from the University of Pittsburgh, the transcript will list all advanced standing associated with the degrees awarded.
