Transcripts

Know what to submit

Explore everything you need to know about transcripts as a graduate student—from what qualifies as an unofficial transcript to the steps for submitting your official transcript.

Through the application portal, you are required to upload transcripts and/or academic documents for every institution of higher education you have attended, regardless of whether a degree was awarded. Any transcript uploaded to the application portal is considered unofficial. Unofficial transcripts printed from your current or previous institution's student system are also not acceptable.

Official transcripts are distinguished by the original signature of the registrar and/or the official seal of the issuing institution. You will be required to provide official transcripts and/or academic records if requested by the graduate program, or if you are admitted and choose to enroll. 
Refer to the instructions below for Domestic, International, and Purdue University Fort Wayne Official Transcripts.

To meet the official transcript requirement, former PFW students must order their transcripts through Parchment and follow the directions below. This will allow the registrar’s office to officially release your transcript directly to the graduate studies office.
  • Go to Purdue's Parchment account: https://www.parchment.com/u/registration/34591/institution
  • Enter your PFW email and then your Parchment password (or create a Parchment account if you have not before)
  • Next, select "Order Official Transcript"
  • In the search bar labeled "Where would you like to send credential?" enter Purdue Univ. Ft. Wayne – GRADUATE ONLY. Do not select Purdue University Fort Wayne, as this will send the transcript to the undergraduate system, and your official transcript will likely be missed.

If the college or university utilizes Parchment or National Student Clearinghouse, please follow the notes below to select the correct recipient. If you are not ordering through one of those systems, please enter [email protected] as the recipient.

Parchment

In the search bar labeled "Where would you like to send credential?" enter Purdue Univ. Ft. Wayne – GRADUATE ONLY. Do not select Purdue University Fort Wayne, as this will send the transcript to the undergraduate system, and your official transcript will likely be missed.

National Student Clearinghouse

Once you arrive at the Recipient section, select "College or University, United States, and Indiana". Then follow the steps below:

  • “Enter and select the school you are sending your transcript to"
    • Enter: Purdue University Fort Wayne
  • “Department"
    • Select: Not in List
  • “Do you want to send electronically?"
    • Select: Yes
  • “Email address"

The best way to submit official transcripts from institutions outside the U.S. is to bring the hard copies of your official transcripts with you when you come to campus. After you arrive, we will have dates available to meet with Olivia Cape, the Graduate Operations Administrator. She will scan the transcripts directly into our system and your file. For individual scanning appointments or other questions regarding international transcripts, please contact [email protected].
