- Conditional logic resolves — passingEvery rule points at a question or page that exists in this template.
- Legal text not required — passingThis template collects neither health nor regulated financial information.
- Question labels unique — passingLogic and exports address questions by label, so duplicates are ambiguous.

About this template
Transcript requests arrive by email with half the details missing, and the registrar spends a week asking follow-up questions instead of sending records. One screen fixes that. It asks for the student's full name, any former name the records might be filed under, date of birth, student number if it is known, and the years attended, because a request without a date range means searching an archive by hand. It records the qualification or programme, how many copies are wanted, and the format: sealed paper copy, electronic copy, or sent directly to a third party. When the destination is a third party the form asks for the recipient's name and address, since that is where most requests stall. It closes with the date the transcript is needed by, whether any fee has been paid, and confirmation that the person asking is the student or has their permission — a small question that keeps records going to the right person.
What this form asks
Every question is editable — rename it, make it optional, or delete it entirely.

Sample data — no real people, addresses or records are shown.
Set it up step by step
- 1
Ask for the year range
A request with attendance years is found in minutes; one without it means searching an archive by hand.
- 2
Capture former names
Records filed under a maiden or previous name are the most common reason a request comes back as 'no record found'.
- 3
Get third-party details up front
When a transcript goes to an employer or another institution, the address is what holds everything up.
- 4
Watch the needed-by date
Sorting requests by deadline rather than arrival order means application cut-offs are met without chasing.
Mistakes to avoid
- Accepting requests without a date of birth or student number, so the record cannot be matched with confidence.
- Sending records to someone acting on a student's behalf without any permission on file.
- Ignoring the deadline field, then missing an application cut-off by two days.

Frequently asked questions
Can a parent request a transcript?
The form asks who is requesting and, if it is not the student, for their relationship and the student's permission, so records go to the right person.
How is this different from a records request?
This is specifically the academic transcript. Broader records requests usually involve other files and a different process.
Does it handle fees?
It records whether a fee has been paid. If you charge, add a payment step or reply with instructions once the request is checked.
Can several copies be requested at once?
Yes. The number of copies and format are separate fields, so one request can cover both sealed and electronic copies.
Is the Transcript Request template free to use?
Yes. You can preview and test Transcript Request on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
What does the Transcript Request template ask for?
It asks 12 questions across 1 page, 10 of which are required. Every question is listed in full further down this page, and each one can be renamed, reordered, made optional or deleted after you copy the template.

Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the card and classic layouts, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.
Can I add conditional logic to this education & schools form?
Yes. The template runs as a straight sequence out of the box, and you can add show, hide, require or skip rules in the Logic tab — pick a question, a condition, and the field or page it should affect.
Where do responses to the Transcript Request form go?
Submissions land in your workspace under Submissions, where you can search, filter, label and export them to CSV or PDF. You can also email a notification to your team on every submission and send the respondent an auto-reply.
