Request an official Davenport University transcript

There are two options when requesting a transcript: 

Official transcripts require a $12.27 fee and include the university seal with the registrar's signature. They are sent directly from Davenport using a system called “Parchment”. If opened by the student, they are no longer considered “Official”. Official transcripts are required by other universities or places of employment. 

Unofficial transcripts are completely free for students to obtain, do not include the university seal or registrar's signature and cannot be released to a third party. These can be used to review courses taken, grades, credit hours and terms. 

Student academic records are classified as confidential and may be released only to the student with the student's written authorization or photo identification, in accordance with Davenport University policy.
