How to Request Transcripts with Parchment at PVAMU

Intended Audience: Students and Alumni

Summary

Parchment is the official transcript and credential delivery service for PVAMU and several other Texas A&M University System campuses. It provides a secure way to send electronic or paper transcripts to employers, graduate schools, or other universities. Using Parchment saves time, reduces errors, and ensures that your records reach their destination promptly.

Problem

Students and alumni often need to send official transcripts to institutions or employers. Manual requests can cause delays, lost mail, or incomplete submissions, which may impact job applications or admissions decisions.
