Helping students send transcripts
US students who take Cambridge exams in the US use our Grade Transcript Service to send Cambridge International AS & A Level transcripts and Cambridge AICE Diploma status to US colleges and universities.
The Grade Transcript Service requires a fee of $17 per transcript request, per institution. Students may pay by Visa, Mastercard, or American Express. This fee helps to ensure all student requests can be fulfilled expeditiously, tracked by students online, and available to colleges and universities by the dates indicated. Fee waivers are not available through Cambridge.
Students' Cambridge accounts enable them to:
- Track the status of all transcript requests; including payment and delivery to institutions
- See when institutions can access their digital transcripts
- View the grades sent with each transcript request

When should students send transcripts
Students should usually submit only one transcript request after they matriculate to an institution, typically in spring of their senior year of high school. Students can submit a single Grade Transcript Service request, and pay a single fee per institution, by adding all their exams series in the form, including one upcoming exams series.
Institutions generally request an official transcript after a student has matriculated because it is used to determine the appropriate credit and course placement by the registrar. Most applications for admissions, including the Common App, ask students to self-report grades. Official grade transcripts are typically not requested by institutions during the admissions process.
Pre-ordering transcripts
Students may pre-order a transcript for an upcoming exam series (or before results are released) approximately 3 months before the series begins. June exam series are available in the Grade Transcript Service form starting in late February. November exam series are available in the form starting in late August.
