Requests for official transcripts must be submitted through Parchment Exchange. The student will need to create an account with Parchment to request his or her official transcript. Once an account is created, the student will follow the steps to have the official transcript sent via mail or electronically. Transcripts are $15 per copy.
Requests for unofficial transcripts must be submitted through the myWalden University Portal. There is no cost for unofficial transcripts.
Transcript requests are processed daily, however, please allow 5–7 business days for the mailed transcript to be processed, and 1–2 business days for the electronic transcript to be processed. Transcript requests cannot be held for grading or degree conferral.
Note: Official transcripts cannot be processed or released if there are outstanding financial obligations to the university. This does not apply to unofficial transcripts.

Maintain Your Financial Aid Status
The basic eligibility criteria that allow you to receive federal student aid continue to apply throughout the time you’re receiving aid, not just when you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Make sure that you always comply with these basic eligibility requirements.
Text Books
At Walden’s official online bookstore, you can purchase your textbooks and other course materials and have them shipped right to your front door. You also have the option to sell them back to the bookstore once you’re finished using them.
Technical Support
Sometimes new students experience technical difficulties or have a hard time navigating Walden’s online classroom.
Don’t let fear stand in your way, as we have a dedicated 24/7 tech support team dedicated to making your experience both productive and rewarding.
You can reach the student support team by clicking “Live Chat Support” under “Help” on the upper right side of your myWalden portal or by calling 1-800-WALDENU [925-3368], selecting the “Technical Support” option, and follow the prompts or email them at [email protected].
Set-Up Your Tempo E-mail Account
After accepting an offer of admissions, new students will receive an email from [email protected] with instructions on setting up their Walden student email. New students should contact their Academic Coach if it has been more than two days since accepting their admission, and an email from [email protected] hasn’t been received.
Maintain Your Financial Status
Students should review and understand guidelines for maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards required for financial aid, available in the Walden University Student Handbook.
Connect With Your Academic Coach
A personal Academic Coach is assigned to each student in a competency-based program. Students meet regularly with their Academic Coach throughout the life of their program, providing guidance and resources that help you set and reach goals.
After accepting an offer of admissions, new students will receive an introductory email from their personal Academic Coach. Students should contact their Enrollment Specialist if they have not heard from their assigned coach within 24-48 hours after accepting their Offer of Admissions.
Complete Your Learner Profile
New students should complete their Learning Profile to help their Academic Coaches better support student’s individual learning needs. New students will receive a personalized link from [email protected] to access the Learner Profile.
If students do not receive this email, they can contact their Academic Coach directly who can provide them with a link with direct access to the survey.
