CCAF Transcript Request

Unofficial Transcript Request

Students should check the Air University Student Information System (CAC Required) before submitting a ticket for unofficial transcripts.

Official Transcript Request

Parchment, a third-party company, handles online ordering. You can order through their site anytime and select from two delivery options. The electronic transcript option costs $3.10, while the first-class mail option costs $5.60. DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY TO CCAF.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Air and Space Force does not cover these fees. Once your order is approved through Parchment, it is transmitted to CCAF electronically. Our staff verifies the request and uploads a copy of your official AU or CCAF transcript to Parchment's secure site. Parchment then completes the final process of delivering your transcript according to your order. 

If you are experiencing issues after your order is approved through Parchment, please contact Parchment directly at https://www.parchment.com/chat-support/. If you need to include an attachment with your transcript (Nursing, CAS, SOPHAS, CASPA, AMCAS, LSAC, etc.), ensure the attachment is uploaded in Parchment before submitting your order.
