As you follow the steps in Parchment to request an official transcript, you will be asked when you want the transcript sent. Former students and graduates from before Summer 2025 should always choose "Send Now."
The Hold for Grades option will hold your transcript until final grade reporting has completed and ensures that the award notation for the Dean's List will be included on qualifying records. Your transcript will not be sent automatically after all your grades are submitted. It will be sent on the date below.
The Hold for Degree option will hold your transcript until final graduation processing for Summer 2025 has completed. If you choose this option, your transcript will be sent on the date below. As long as you meet the requirements to graduate, your transcript will show that your degree has been awarded.
If you are a current student (enrolled for the Summer 2025 semester) or a Summer 2025 graduate and choose "Send Now," your transcript will process as-is. This means that it is possible to order your transcript too early, and your transcript could be sent with important information missing. Your Summer 2025 grades, Dean's List notation, and degree conferral message take time to add to the transcript after the end of the semester.
If you are a current student or recent graduate, you can review your advising transcript in LionPATH before you place your order. If your degree has been awarded, you will see a section with the heading "Degrees Awarded" near the top of your transcript. If you see what you need on your advising transcript, you can choose "Now" when you request your transcript. Do not hold for Grades or Degree.
If you are a Summer 2025 graduate, and you are requesting a transcript on or after the "Hold for Degree" date below, you should choose "Send Now", as your transcript has already been finalized.
