High School Transcripts

Do I need to request a final transcript?

You will need to request a final transcript to be sent if you are attending:

• 4-year college/ university
• 2-year college or trade school

You will want to Pre-Order this BEFORE graduation to avoid any fees.

• Sending transcripts is free while you are sa tudent at WPHS. However, once you graduate, there is a fee associated with the order (about $5).

How do I order my final high school transcript?

To order a final transcript to be sent to your college, university, or trade school, you must first create a Parchment Account.

1. Go to https://www.parchment.com/students/how-it-works/ and click the green button that says “Order Now”
2. Select your school: Type in “William Penn High School” and ensure it is the WPHS in New Castle, DE.
3. Start to create your account. Ensure that the green icon for Ordering Your Own Credentials is checked. You MUST use a personal email, not a Colonial email address. You will lose access to your Colonial email after you graduate. Click “Continue“.
4. Fill out your personal information to finish setting up your account. Choose a password. Click “Create Account & Continue“.
5. Once your account has been created, you will select which college/ university/ trade school you want the transcript to be sent. Ensure you are selecting the correct branch/ campus, if your institution has multiple options.
6. When you get to the check out screen, you MUST schedule when you want the transcripts sent. If you are applying to colleges in Fall of 12th grade, you can “Send Now”. If you are graduating, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you select “Hold for Grades”. This way, your transcript will not be sent until final grades are in and your Senior transcript is complete.
7. Click green “Complete Order” button to send it through. You should get a confirmation email.
