Ordering and the Release of APUS Transcripts

To ensure accurate updates to a student's transcript, it is recommended that they observe a 24-hour waiting period before placing an order for a transcript. The waiting period should follow any of the following events:

The posting of a final grade to a student's academic plan.
The successful conferral of a student's academic program.
The completion of a student's transfer credit evaluation.

Ordering Instructions:

All requests for official transcripts must be placed through the student's ecampus. If a student has forgotten their student ID or password, they can reference the following links or contact our Student Services team [email protected] or by calling 877-468-6268 ext. 4000.

Students will be directed to our transcript ordering portal, where they will be prompted to create a Parchment Learner account. From there they will be directed through the ordering process.

Downloadable Degree Plan: APUS does not offer unofficial transcripts. Students may print a copy of their downloadable degree plan from their ecampus for an unofficial view of their current courses in their current or most recent program with APUS. If a student needs to view prior or multiple programs they will need to order an official transcript.

To access a student's downloadable degree plan, they should log into their account and navigate to the Academic Plan and Forms Tab and then Academic Plan.

Exceptions to APUS Transcript Release Policy

Teachers Summer Workshop

One official transcript will be issued, at no charge, upon request if a student has completed a course that falls under “Teachers’ Summer Workshop,” (for example, HIST680 – Special Topics) without requiring their admission record to be complete if these courses were taken under non-degree-seeking status.
