Request a Transcript

​Through the use of the Parchment transcript system, you can now request that your official transcript be sent electronically as a secure pdf or through the standard US mail. You can request the transcript by signing* up for an account directly through the Parchment site and submit your request through the link.

* User will need to create an account (not linked to DSU account) to access.

Official transcripts are $9.00 for each transcript. Transcripts requested online require payment via credit/debit card.

We will not be able to issue an official transcript if you have a hold on your record due to unsettled obligations with the university. If you think you might have an unresolved hold from any office at DSU you can view holds in Self Service Banner under Student, then Academic Information, then Holds. If you have a hold, you will need to contact the appropriate office to resolve your hold before submitting your transcript request.

Students with access to Self Service Banner can view an unofficial copy of their courses by clicking on “Unofficial Transcript/Courses and Grades” under Student and then My Academic Information.
