Frequently Asked Questions

1. How will I know when my transcript has been mailed?

You will receive email notification of the status of web-ordered transcripts. Once you have created an account with Parchment, you can also log in to the Parchment site and check the status of your orders. Tracking is not available for orders placed in person or by mail.

2. Who has access to my academic record?

Only the student and anyone they may authorize as their agent. USC officials who demonstrate a “legitimate educational interest” to the Registrar, in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), may also access academic records.

3. What can I do if there is a "hold" on my record?

You should contact the department that placed the hold (for instance, Collections, Loans, etc.). If you are unsure who placed the hold on your record, please contact us using the askUSC link below. Current and recently enrolled students may check for holds on myUSC.
