Request Transcript

Southern California University of Health Sciences has partnered with Parchment Transcript Services to expedite the processing of official paper and electronic transcripts in PDF format. As our agent, Parchment will collect all fees and allow you to track and receive confirmation and delivery receipt emails of your orders.

Notifications will be sent to your email directly from Parchment indicating the progress of your request for an electronic transcript. An official transcript is a copy of a student’s entire academic record from the Southern California University of Health Sciences.

There are certain transcript orders that require special transcript handling or services by the Office of the Registrar. The following students need to contact Registrar@scuhs.edu for transcript orders:

• Students who attended SCU prior to 1990
• Students who attended SAMRA University of Oriental Medicine
• Chiropractic students who need an SCU transcript and accompanying licensing documents sent to the State of California Board of Chiropractic Examiners
• Massage Therapy students who are sending transcripts to California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC)
• Students, who require additional documentation sent with your transcript, please email the document to Registrar@scuhs.edu in PDF form – 24 hours in advance of placing your Parchment transcript order. For example, students sending transcripts to a Centralized Application Service usually require a Transcript Matching Form to accompany the transcript.

Students who took Continuing Education Classes through SCU, please contact the School of Professional Studies for transcript processing ProfessionalStudies@scuhs.edu.
