If you need to mail a request, you can mail a note as a written release.  In the release, please include:

Student’s name when they attended school

Married name (if that applies)

Year of graduation

Date of Birth OR Social Security Number

Where to mail the transcript

Student’s SIGNATURE

*    $5 cash/check per transcript *

Please note we do not accept e-mail or faxed releases.  If the transcript is for college, it should be mailed directly to the college.  Very few colleges, scholarships, unions and jobs allow you to hand-carry transcripts.  If it is to be mailed to your home, be sure to leave the transcript in the sealed envelope, to be considered “official”. Also, be sure to allow enough time to meet your deadlines.

If a college needs “official” test scores from the testing agency, or you graduated before 1999, you will need to follow-up by contacting ACT, SAT or AP direct.  You can contact the testing agencies by phone or on their websites.

ACT     (319) 337-1313 or actstudent.org

SAT   (888) SAT-HELP & AP  (888) 308-0013

or collegeboard.com
