How can I get a copy of my records, including transcripts?
Student records follow the student from school to school at the DOE. Your last school, or current school, is always the best place to start when looking for student records, including transcripts. You can request your records at any time using the instructions in the following sections. We do not provide duplicate diplomas.
Current Students
If you are a student currently attending a DOE school, you may request a transcript from your guidance counselor at any time.
Former Students
Former students must print and fill out the Student Records Request Form, below, to make a request for records, including transcripts.
If you are the parent or guardian of a student under the age of 18, you can ask for a transcript from your child’s school by making a written request. When a student is 18 or older, the DOE will only honor transcript requests from the student. Students can give written permission to access records.
Use the School Finder toolto find your school’s information and navigate their website. You can request records electronically, by mail, or in-person.
Changing Your Nameand Other Information inYour Records
If you are a current studentand need your nameor other information changed in your records, reach out to your school.
If you are a former student and have changed your name since leaving the DOE, your school will provide you a new transcript, diploma, and other recordswith your current name. Contact your last school as described in the “Permanent Records” section of theGuidelines to Support Transgender and Gender Expansive Studentsfor more information.Theseproceduresalso apply to former students who have changed their name for other reasons.If you need other information changed in your records, contact your last school.
