Current and Transfer Student Records Requests

Records for students currently attending a DCPS school can be obtained by submitting a request to the student’s school of enrollment.

Former/Alumni Student Records Requests

Alumni, former students, and other institutions requesting transcripts, employment verification, or any other information related to alumni or former students are required to access ​Alumni and Former Student Parchment Ordering Links​. If your school is not listed, select District of Columbia Public Schools and type the name of your last attended school.

Required Documentation for Requests

• A valid state issued picture ID. 

• A completed DPCS Authorization Release of Education Records form is required if requester is not the student or legal guardian of the student (if under the age of 18). 

  DCPS Authorization to Release Records
  Per District policy and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) student records are only available to those who have authorization from the student or parent, guardian, or responsible person if the student is less than 18 years of age. If the student is 18 years of age or older, school records will not be released to a parent, guardian, or responsible person without the student’s written consent.
