Transcript Requests:

Current students and alumni with a graduation date of 1992 or later may use option 1 or 2 below for ordering a transcript. If you graduated before 1992, only option 2 below is available for ordering a transcript.

  1. The fastest way to obtain an electronic or paper copy of your law school transcript is to place your order online through Parchment, Inc. Current students can access Parchment through Patriot Web. Alumni should use the Parchment portal. There is a $10.00 fee for transcripts ordered through Parchment.
    • Note: If you would like your class rank on your transcript, before placing your order on Parchment, you must first email lwrecord@gmu.edu, and request that your rank be added to your transcript for your Parchment order. Once the rank is added, the Records Office will let you know, and then you can proceed with your Parchment order. If you need immediate attention adding the ranking, please call the Records Office at (703) 993-8015.
  2. Paper copies of transcripts can be requested from the Law Records Office by using a Transcript/Enrollment Verification form. Completed forms can be dropped off at the Records Office, emailed (lwrecord@gmu.edu), or faxed to (703) 993-8019. A copy of a photo ID is required for transcript requests by email or fax. Transcript requests submitted to the Records Office are usually processed within 2 business days. There is no fee for this service.
    • Note: The Records Office cannot provide electronic or faxed copies of transcripts. Electronic copies must be ordered through Parchment (see #1 above) and are only available for current students and alumni with a graduation date of 1992 or later.
