Request a Transcript
Your academic transcript is a record issue by the College to communicate your full academic history. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) requires that transcripts of student records be released only upon the written consent of the student.
To request your transcript, you’ll first have to set up an account with our partner,
Parchment.
SET UP YOUR ACCOUNT
Once your account is ready, follow these step-by-step instructions on how to use Parchment to request your transcript. It’s your choice to request an
electronic or paper transcript.
REQUEST YOUR TRANSCRIPT
Please keep in mind:
- Transcripts remain free of charge for all current and former students.
- Transcripts will be issued only if all financial obligations to the College have been met.
- Parents, relatives, friends may not request a transcript for you. We strictly adhere to federal guidelines regarding the release of student records. We, therefore, cannot release transcripts without a written request that includes your signature. We also cannot allow someone else to pick transcripts up for you without your written permission.
- Both hard copies and electronic copies bear the official college seal.
- If you attended F&M in 1987 or earlier, please allow an additional (3-5) days for processing your order.
ASE & IFE Transcripts
To request a transcript from the Advanced Studies in England (ASE) program, please complete an ASE Transcript Request form. To request a transcript from International Francophone Europe (IFE), please contact the Registrar’s Office.
