Official Transcripts

Current students, alumni, and former students can order official transcripts online via Reed’s secure transcript service, Parchment. A major credit/debit card is necessary to place a transcript order. The Registrar’s Office does not provide nor mail paper official transcripts directly from our office. Paper transcripts must be ordered through Parchment and they will be mailed from their remote fulfillment center. Students are encouraged to order official electronic transcripts whenever feasible to ensure timely fulfillment and avoid delivery costs in excess of Reed’s $5 transcript fee.

See the table below for pricing: 

Official transcript orders are processed Monday-Friday during normal business hours. Paper transcripts are subject to USPS and FedEx delivery timetables. Requests for official transcripts are accepted but not immediately fulfilled during end-of-semester activities in late December/early January and late May – please consult the ‘Announcements’ section of the Registrar’s homepage for more information if requesting an official transcript during those periods.  

Students who attended Reed prior to 1982 can only request an official transcript by submitting a Transcript Request Form. Please note, it will be necessary to verify your identity before fulfilling your request. 

Grades at Reed information is sent with all official transcripts (electronic and print), intended to give the recipient a better understanding of the Reed grading system and its comparatively modest grade inflation.

The Transcript Key is on the reverse side of an official Reed transcript.

For questions concerning official transcripts, contact the Registrar’s Office at 503-777-7793 or registrar@reed.edu.  

Unofficial Transcripts

Current students and most alumni and former students may view and/or download an unofficial transcript at no cost via Reed’s secure portal IRIS. Contact the Registrar’s Office at registrar@reed.edu or 503-777-4119 if you encounter difficulties accessing IRIS.

1. Log into IRIS and go to the “Student Information” section. 
2. Click the ‘Documents’ tab. 
3. A document titled “Unofficial Reed Transcript” with a date will appear in your list of records. 
4. Please note: Do NOT click “View” if you do NOT wish to view your unofficial transcript, including course grades and GPA.
   By clicking “Download” you can save the unofficial transcript, then attach it to an email or upload it to an application WITHOUT viewing it. (You may want to try downloading a different document first to ensure that your browser does not automatically open it.)

Updated unofficial transcripts are not immediately available during end-of-semester activities in late December/early January and late May – please consult the ‘Announcements’ section of the Registrar’s homepage for more information if seeking an unofficial official transcript during those periods.  

For questions concerning unofficial transcripts, contact the Registrar’s Office at 503-777-7793 or registrar@reed.edu.

Replacement Diplomas

The fee for a replacement diploma is $50 and may take 4 to 6 weeks for production and delivery. The replacement diploma will indicate that it is a replacement. 

To order a replacement diploma, send an email request to registrar@reed.edu. It will be necessary to verify your identity and the validity of your email address before your request is fulfilled. Your graduation status will also be verified by the Registrar’s Office.

For payment, you may send a $50 dollar check/money order issued to Reed College via the address below or pay online through our Business Office's webpage: https://www.reed.edu/business. To pay online, just click the 'Make a Payment as a Guest' button on the left side of the page, type in your personal information, and put the total charge ($50) for your order in the Tuition/Business Office Account Payment section (be careful as a fee may be charged for insufficient funds or incorrect information).
