Request a Transcript
Transcript Policy
Official transcripts are typically processed within 2-3 business days following the receipt of a request. Longer processing times may be necessary following college breaks and at the conclusion of a term.
Student records are protected by the FERPA privacy act. Only the student may request a copy of their academic record. Transcripts will not be sent by fax.
If your legal name has changed and you would like this change to be reflected on your transcript, you will need to complete and submit the Legal Name Change Request Form. Please allow at least 5 business days after form submission to submit your transcript request to ensure the update has been processed.
Official Transcript Requests
Luther College has authorized Parchment to provide official transcript ordering. Parchment is an academic credential management company, specializing in delivery of official electronic credentials.
You can request your official transcripts to be sent through US Mail, FedEx, or Secure Electronic PDF. Transcripts are available at no charge; however, extra fees do apply for rush/overnight requests.
To place a transcript order, go to the Parchment Storefront and create an account or sign in to an existing account. This video will provide a walkthrough of the learner ordering experience on Parchment. The site will walk you through placing your order, including delivery options and fees. Additional support for using the Parchment site is available at Customer Support.
Unofficial Transcripts
Current students can access their unofficial transcript in Norse Hub by selecting Academics, then Unofficial Transcript.
Since there is no charge for official Luther College transcript requests, former students and alumni can order their official transcript to be sent electronically or via postal mail to any address they choose. If ordered to be sent to yourself, you can save or make copies of it and then send to anyone asking for an unofficial copy.
