Chances are you took a course with a curriculum partner through the School of Extended Education and have registered for a professional credit. Please visit the Extended Education Student Resources page for more information.

For Extended Education students with questions regarding the content of your transcript (courses, grades, etc.), please call (800) 632-0094 or email k12partners@brandman.edu.

Typically it takes 3-5 business days to process your transcript, assuming that you do not have any holds on your student account and submitted an authorization form (if applicable). Turnaround times are slower in times of high volume, such as the beginning and the end of a term.

You will need your original order number as well as the Student ID number or Social Security number that you entered on your order.

Check the Status of My Order 

If your order requires a signed authorization form and it is not received within 30 days, your order will be automatically canceled. 

PLEASE NOTE: We have a small number of schools that charge your credit card at the time your order is placed who will automatically refund the charges if your order is canceled.

If your transcript was delivered electronically and you received notification of receipt, please contact your recipient. If your transcript was mailed via USPS First Class Mail, please allow sufficient time for delivery. If your transcript was mailed using Federal Express expedited shipping, check the tracking number of the Federal Express service. If your transcript needs to be re-ordered, you will need to submit a new transcript order with payment.

Please call our Credentials Solutions Customer Service Department at (847) 716-3005 between the hours of 7:00 am and 8:00 pm Monday through Thursday and between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm CST/CDT on Fridays. A representative will be happy to assist you.

Transcript requests will not be processed until all holds have been cleared. If your hold is not cleared within 30 days of placing an order, your order will be automatically canceled and you will be notified via email. To view your holds, please go to MyBrandman Self-Service or contact your campus OneStop for assistance.

Federal Express orders that are received before 3:00 PM Central Standard Time will go out the same day. Orders received after 3:00 PM Central Standard Time will go out the following business day, pending any restrictions on your student account.
