Ordering Transcripts for College

Anchor Bay has signed up with Parchment by Docufide, an electronic process, to send your transcripts directly to the college of your choice. The counseling office will not be mailing your transcript. Each student must register with Parchment by Docufide on the Anchor Bay website and place your request for transcripts to be sent out.

Attention Seniors: Parchment will send your transcript anywhere you would like at no cost. However, after July 31st, 2026, there will be a fee when ordering your transcript. To avoid this, please order your transcript before July 31st, 2026.
