How to Order an Official Transcript from Platt College San Diego
Platt College San Diego closed on July 1, 2023, after 43 years of operation, but alumni and former students can still obtain official transcripts. Orders are placed online through Parchment, the school's transcript partner, and the service is available 24/7. A fee applies to each transcript request. The steps below apply only to Platt College San Diego records — the site notes that transcripts are provided "exclusively from Platt College San Diego ONLY," so if you attended a different Platt College campus, you'll need to contact that location instead.
What you need before you start
- Your identifying information as it appeared in school records (name, dates of attendance, program, or student ID if you have it)
- The name and address of the recipient — a college, employer, licensing board, or yourself
- A payment method for the per-transcript fee
How to order
- Go to the Platt College San Diego website (platt.edu) and open the transcript request page for alumni and former students.
- Click the Order an Official Transcript link. This takes you to Parchment's online ordering system.
- Create or sign in to your Parchment account and search for Platt College San Diego as the sending institution.
- Enter your student details and select the recipient. If you're sending to a school or organization that accepts electronic delivery, choose that option for faster processing; otherwise select a mailed transcript.
- Review the order, pay the applicable fee, and submit.
- Watch for confirmation from Parchment. You can track the order status through your Parchment account.

Common snags
- Wrong campus: The closure and this ordering process cover Platt College San Diego specifically. Other Platt College locations are separate institutions with their own transcript procedures.
- Name changes: If your name changed since you attended, include your name at the time of enrollment so records can be matched.
- Delivery holds: Some recipients won't accept electronic transcripts, or require them sent directly rather than forwarded by you. Check the recipient's requirements before ordering to avoid paying for a transcript that gets rejected.
- Fees are per request: Each transcript you order — even to the same recipient — is a separate request with its own fee, so consolidate where possible.
If you run into a problem with your order, Parchment's support handles issues with the ordering system, while questions about the content of your record relate to the transcript itself.
