Duplicate High School Transcripts or Education Verification
Students and alumni can request a copy of their transcript or an education verification from their local school, school district, or the Louisiana Department of Education.
Schools and school districts maintain permanent records and provide electronic copies to the Louisiana Department of Education via the Student Transcript System (STS).
The Louisiana Department of Education has partnered with Parchment, a leader in eTranscript exchange, to send high school transcripts and education verifications electronically, securely, and confidentially. The service is available online 24/7.
Alumni can request a transcript and send it to the academic institution, organization, or individual of their choice. Users can track their request status and will be notified once it is complete.
Most education verification requests are processed within three (3) business days. Please note, however, that exceptions may apply in certain circumstances. Additional time may be required if:
- A diploma record does not include a graduation date
- The request involves older records that must be retrieved from microfilm or legacy systems
- The name on the request does not match the name on file and requires identity confirmation
- The issuing school or district requires additional verification before release
NOTICE: The Louisiana Department of Education releases student records in accordance with the CFR 34.99, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which does not require immediate release of copies of student transcripts.
