Q
How can I get a copy of my transcript?
-
A
The Schools need permission from the parent or student to release records. If the student is younger than 16 years old, a parent signature is required along with detailed instructions as to which records are to be sent. Those instructions should include the name and address of the recipient. Explicit instructions to release test scores are required if you wish to have copies sent along with copies of academic progress.
No fee is charged to current students.
The Schools only provide official copies of records from school to school. Records given to students or parents are unofficial.
Faxing, emailing, mailing, or provision in person are all acceptable methods to request transcripts.
If you are a former student requiring a copy of your records, please write the Office of the Registrar and include a $10 records fee made payable to "University of Chicago Laboratory Schools".
Please note, if you are a graduate of the College or any division of the University of Chicago, please contact the University of Chicago Office of the Registrar at 773-702-7891 for instructions.
