Electronic transcripts are accepted directly through Parchment and National Student Clearinghouse.

  • The SD DOE Office of Educator Certification will download a 'batch' of transcripts weekly and upload to each existing Educator Profile. Please utilize the view status for your application for progress.

**If you are receiving an automated message about submitting a transcript, it is because you indicated a new degree on your profile or application. Until confirmed by our office, this message will continue to be sent on the first of the month.
