Order Your Official Transcript
If you plan to transfer or need transcripts for employment, you will need to order an official transcript through Parchment.
To ensure your transcript reflects your degree, select “Hold for Degree” when ordering.
Note: Most institutions require an official transcript rather than your diploma as proof of graduation.
Review Your SCF Account
Before graduation, log in to MySCF to check for any outstanding holds or pending items. Continue monitoring your SCF email for important updates.
For any questions, contact the Registrar’s Office Graduation team.
