Fitchburg State University has authorized Parchment, a third-party transcript provider, to process all official transcript requests for our students and alumni. Official transcript requests are submitted online and can be delivered in either an electronic or paper format. Electronic official transcripts cost $5.00 per copy, plus an additional $2.50 for paper copies. A debit or credit card is required to place your order.
Important: Transcript orders are not held for the posting of future grades or for the conferral of degrees. Please make sure that your transcript is current before placing your order. You can do this by viewing your unofficial transcript on Web4.
How to Place Your Transcript Order
For current students, the preferred method for ordering transcripts is to make your request through Web4. Web4 will match your account with the transcript request for easy, fast processing.
Once logged into Web4, go to the Student tab, click on Student Records, and then select the Official Academic Transcript Request link.
You can order your transcript directly from Parchment.
You'll need your contact information (including an email address), Social Security number, date of birth, and approximate years of attendance.
