The process for requesting a transcript depends on the years you attended law school. Please look below for the set of instructions relevant for your class year.
1. UDC David A. Clarke School of Law and DC School of Law Transcripts
A. Current Students and Alumni who graduated in or after 2000
Current students and alumni who graduated in or after the year 2000 should use the National Student Clearinghouse Transcript Ordering Center to order transcripts. Select “University of the District of Columbia – LAW” as your institution or use this direct link: https://tsorder.studentclearinghouse.org/school/ficecode/00144102.
National Student Clearinghouse Transcript Fees:
$10 for the first copy and $5 for each additional copy.
Electronic PDF delivery is an additional $1 fee.

B. Alumni who graduated before 2000
Alumni who graduated before 2000 should submit a signed Transcript Request Form for Law Alumni Who Graduated Before 2000 (.pdf) by mail or email to the UDC David A. Clarke School of Law Registrar’s Office. The first official copy costs $10; additional copies are $5 each.

2. Antioch School of Law Transcripts
Antioch University maintains all Antioch School of Law transcripts. Alumni wishing to order transcripts and/or proof of graduation forms from closed campuses should go to the National Student Clearinghouse Transcript Ordering Center and select “Antioch University” from the drop-down box. You must have a major credit card and valid e-mail address in order to use this service. Please see the tips below before ordering.
Antioch School of Law alumni who need pre-printed proof of graduation forms filled in, such as those required by certain bar application processes, should contact Antioch University at 937-769-1087.
Some tips from an Antioch alumnus who requested a transcript from the Clearinghouse:
- The National Student Clearinghouse Transcript Ordering Center will ask you whether you want “narratives” for an extra fee. ASL transcripts do NOT have narratives so ordering them will result only in having to wait on a refund of the extra fee.
- Be sure to send the transcript first to yourself, NOT to the ultimate recipient. It is very important to review the transcript because 1) the Antioch University Records Office will transcribe your original ASL transcript onto a new official Antioch University form, which contains the usual authentication and anti-forgery protections, and there is a real chance that typographical mistakes will be made in that process, and 2) the transcript may not adhere to the explanatory document accompanying each transcript that outlines grade reporting rules for your class year. In particular, make sure that your grades are correct and that your academic credits and clinical credits are accurately recorded and totaled. If you find errors, call the Records Office phone number that is provided and they will work with you to make corrections.
- Some transcript recipients may require that the transcript be directly mailed to them in a sealed envelope bearing an official seal. The Antioch University Records Office will do that, but don’t ask them to do so until you are sure that your transcript is exactly as it should be.
3. If You Did Not Attend Law School
The University of the District of Columbia (UDC) and the David A. Clarke School of Law (UDC Law) store and process academic transcripts separately. The School of Law does not have access to undergraduate or graduate transcripts.
If you are a UDC undergraduate or non-law graduate student or alumnus, please visit the UDC Registrar’s webpage for instructions.
