Transcripts

If you attended or graduated from a Garland ISD school after 2017, contact the last GISD campus attended.  Those records are maintained on campus.

If you attended or graduated from a Garland ISD school in 2017 or before: Complete this Google form bit.ly/RecordsGISD.

Note:

• If the student is over 18 only the student can request records, per FERPA requirements.
• Requests are processed in the order received.
• For the protection and privacy of the student, requests will not be fulfilled without proof of identity

To be able to order a transcript from Naviance, you must have a Student Record Release Authorization Form on file in the counseling office before any transcripts can be sent. You can find this form in the Document Resources section of Naviance at the bottom of the home page under Counselor Forms. 

College applications typically use electronic copies of official transcripts, but if the school does not accept transcripts electronically, the transcript will be mailed. Please check with the institution to see which type you need.

Electronic transcripts are free. Transcripts that must be mailed cost $1 each and will need to be paid in the counseling office before requesting transcripts.

Garland ISD has partnered with GreenLight Credentials to allow students/families to instantly and securely share academic credentials and records with educational institutions, employers, and the military.  Class of 2021 must use the system to obtain their final transcript.  If the student is under the age of 18, a parent/guardian must also register and sign a FERPA release form to give authorization.  The parent/guardian must use the same enrollment code as the student.  

Please view the Quick Start Guide and the videos below for instructions on how to register on GreenLight, including how to look up your enrollment code.
