How to Request an Official Transcript

We’ve partnered with Parchment to securely deliver official transcripts for former students and graduates. Whether you need to send your transcript to a college, employer, the military, or another organization, Parchment makes the process simple and trackable.

Excel High School uses Parchment as a third-party service to provide transcripts. We do not manage the Parchment website or ordering system. For any questions about the process, contact Parchment directly. If you have any trouble, please contact Parchment Support at 847-716-3005 or https://www.parchment.com/chat-support/

 

⚠️Note for Current Students (Grades 6–12):⚠️
If you are currently enrolled and transferring to another K–12 school, do not use Parchment to request your transcript. Your new school must submit the transcript request directly to our Registrar team using the form here: ➡ Request a Transcript from the Registrar

This ensures your records are released correctly and handled through the proper school-to-school process.


Step 1: Go to the Parchment Link for Your School

Excel High School: https://www.parchment.com/u/registration/202339/institution
Northgate Academy: https://www.parchment.com/u/registration/35604815/institution


Step 2: Create or Log In to Your Parchment Account

Click Sign Up if you’re a first-time user. (If you already have an account, simply Log In and proceed to the next step.)

Parchment will ask for some personal and academic details. These include your name, date of birth, graduation year, and highest level of education completed.

For “Highest Education Completed,” you’ll see two similar options:

  • “Completed HS; will not attend college”
  • “Completed HS; not yet enrolled in college” If you select “not yet enrolled in college,” Parchment will prompt you in the next step to list any colleges you may be interested in.

Make sure all information matches what Excel High School or Northgate Academy has on file—especially your legal name, date of birth, and graduation year.
Using the same details you had while enrolled helps us locate your records quickly.


Step 2b: Confirm your email address

Check your inbox for a verification email from Parchment. It will include a code. Copy the code and paste it into the confirmation section on the screen, then click Submit to move on.


Step 3: Add Colleges You’re Interested In (If Needed)

If you selected “Completed HS; not yet enrolled in college” earlier, Parchment will now ask you to list any colleges you’re considering.  If you’re not planning to attend college, select “I Don’t Plan on Attending College” to skip this step.  If you do add colleges, click “I’m Done Adding” when you’re finished to continue.


Step 4: Tell Us When You Attended

Enter your enrollment details to help Excel High School locate your records. This usually means the years you were a student with us. Then, click Continue to move on.


Step 5: Start Your Transcript Order

Click “Order” to begin the process of requesting your official transcript.


Step 6: Choose Where to Send Your Transcript

You’ll now tell Parchment where to send your transcript. You have a couple of options:

  • If you’re sending it to a college, use the search bar to find the school.
  • If you’re sending it to yourself or someone else, click “I’m sending to myself or another individual.”

Once you choose:

  • If you’re sending it to yourself, your email will auto-fill for electronic delivery.
  • If you’re sending it to someone else, you’ll be asked to enter their name and email address.

Final Step: Review & Submit Your Order

You’re almost done! Follow these final steps to complete your transcript request:

  • Give Your Consent Sign the disclosure box to give permission for your transcript to be sent.
