High School Transcripts

OSPI does not maintain official transcripts, diplomas, or the complete educational history file of students. To obtain these records, contact the school or district of last attendance. Contact information is available in the Education Directory.

OSPI, the Washington Student Achievement Council, the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges, and the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board are authorized by WAC 392-415 to:

  • Establish standardized criteria for high school transcripts issued by all common school districts; and
  • Establish definitions for credits, hours, and marking system so that common school district high school transcripts are standardized.
