Once a graduate turns 18 years of age or is in a post-secondary setting, parents/guardians may no longer legally request records of any kind. The Federal Law will allow the district to accept a parent signature in lieu of the student only when that parent brings in the most current 1040 tax form showing that the student is still a dependent for tax purposes.
Note - Diplomas are considered ceremonial documents, not district records. The high school transcript, academic achievement record (AAR), is the official record of achievement and graduation. If you seek an actual diploma, contact the office of the high school from which the student graduated for contact information of the company that produces the ceremonial documents.
- In accordance with Texas Education Agency guidelines, certified/official transcripts cannot be given to an individual.
- Certified/Official transcripts can only be sent directly from Waxahachie ISD to an agency, business, college, or university.

- Information on the ID presented to pick up records must match the information submitted on the request form. If someone other than that individual is authorized to pick up records, provide their complete valid photo ID information on the form when applying.
