Unofficial transcripts may be viewed by students through MyCharleston free of charge. Unofficial transcripts do not include the College seal, official signature of the Registrar, or issue date. Visit https://registrar.cofc.edu/transcripts/unofficial-transcripts.php for more information.
Official transcripts are available using our online ordering system with Credentials Solutions/Parchment. Transcripts may be mailed or sent electronically (when available). The cost for a transcript that is mailed or sent electronically is $10. Additional charges apply for FedEx and international orders.
Current and former students should use the Credentials Solutions/Parchment ordering service available through MyCharleston to authenticate and avoid completing a Signature Authorization Form.
Alumni who do not have a current MyCharleston account may order directly with Credentials Solutions/Parchment.
