Request an Official Transcript

Wartburg Theological Seminary partners with Parchment to process and distribute all official transcript requests. Use the link below to order electronic or printed copies securely through our Parchment storefront.

How to Request Transcript

Wartburg Theological Seminary

Beginning August 4, 2025, Wartburg Theological Seminary has entered into a relationship with the company Parchment to collect all transcripts requests and for transcript distribution. You will no longer be contacting the seminary Registrar to request transcripts, as instead all typical requests will be redirected to our Parchment “storefront”.

Wartburg Seminary’s Parchment Transcript Request

To order a transcript(s) to be sent out electronically or in printed form, please go to the seminary’s Parchment Storefront.

You will need to create an account on the Parchment system to place your transcript order. Every transcript requested (including each recipient indicated) will cost you a modest fee, with additional fees added for postal mailed and express-shipped transcripts. You must pay for your transcript(s) at the time of placing your transcript order using a credit card, debit card, or other payment method allowed by Parchment. 

  • Every transcript requested will cost you a modest fee., paid directly to Parchment. 
  • Wartburg Seminary will process your transcript request within approximately three business days.
  • There is no distinction between “unofficial” and “official” transcripts ordered through Parchment, as all transcripts are verified to be official transcripts.

Current Students

The use of Parchment extends to include transcripts needed by your synod candidacy committee and for any scholarship sources requiring a transcript.

Please see the transcript web page on the MyWTS web portal for further instructions and to also access unofficial copies of your transcript (in case they can be submitted by you in lieu of ordering an official transcript).
