Whittier College does not provide "unofficial" transcripts. Transcripts sent directly to the student will be stamped: "Student Issued."
Official transcripts must be ordered online through the National Student Clearinghouse. Whittier College does not accept transcript orders through the mail. Whittier College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to provide transcripts online. You can order transcripts using all major credit cards. Your card will only be charged after your order has been completed.
Students who have completed classes at another accredited College or University and wish to submit those transcripts for meeting degree/minor requirements may send Official transcripts to:
Whittier College Registrar's Office 13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
If the previous institution sends official transcripts as a PDF, electronic transcripts can be emailed to registrar@whittier.edu. The transcripts must be sent directly from the previous institution's authorized agent. Whittier College will not accept forwarded transcripts from the student.
The Office of the Registrar does not provide degree or enrollment verifications by telephone or fax.
Whittier College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to provide enrollment and degree verifications. Third parties may obtain instant verifications via the National Student Clearinghouse's Verification Services.
The services provided by the Clearinghouse are in full compliance with all applicable privacy laws including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA).
If you are a current student and need to verify your current term enrollment, please access the National Student Clearinghouse Student Self-Service link from My.Whittier. There is no charge for this service.
The Office of the Registrar also does not provide notarization or apostille services.
However, we have included information on how to obtain your documents as well as the steps for completing notarization and/or apostille processing.
a. Diploma: Submit a Diploma Reorder Form to order a copy of your diploma. Please note that all orders are sent to our third-party vendor at the end of the month. Please allow 3-4 weeks for processing and shipping.
b. Transcript: Place an order online at getmytranscript.com. Transcripts can be mailed out via postal mail or emailed to the recipient of your choice. For notarization purposes, it is recommended to place a mailed order to receive a physical transcript. Rush orders are processed as a digital format only. All standard transcript orders take about 7-10 business days to process.
Once all official documents are received, they are ready to be notarized. You can find notary services at banks, UPS stores, law offices, or through mobile notary services.
Once notarized, prepare your documents to be mailed to the California Secretary of State's office, which is the authority that issues apostilles in California.
Send your notarized documents to the California Secretary of State along with any required fees and forms for apostille processing. Check the Secretary of State's website for current fees, processing times, and mailing address.
The Secretary of State will process your request and return your documents with the apostille attached, certifying them for international use.
More information on requesting an apostille can be found on the California Secretary of State website.
