Yourself

You were sent your Parchment code to your school email today and August 29.

Check your school email for your Parchment Code.

You can use this code today to speed up creating a Parchment account to be able to send your transcripts.

You can print your own transcript to complete applications.

Some colleges (like the University of Illinois) require students to self-report their grades and test scores.

Some scholarships require students to self-report their grades and test scores.

Your “Official test scores” vs test scores

Your SAT and ACT test scores will be on your transcript.

The majority of colleges accept the test scores on your transcript for admission purposes.

However, some colleges want the SAT and ACT scores sent directly from the testing company. It is considered an official test score if it is sent directly from the test company.

If this is the case you will need to go to the testing company’s website to request your scores be sent.
