Submitting Academic Transcripts
If you have a college degree from an institution that is accredited by the US Department of Education and would like to submit proof to RID that you meet the educational requirement, send an original or photocopy of your official college transcript, showing
1) your full name,
2) the name of the college,
3) the degree earned, and
4) the date the degree was conferred.
You may submit this documentation by e-mail to certification@rid.org or by logging into your RID account and clicking on “Upload Degree Document.”
Please notify the Certification Department at certification@rid.org if the name on your college transcript does not match your name in the RID database.
*To submit official transcripts, you may break the seal on the envelope to scan the document and send/upload. Transcripts will be processed within 7-10 business days. A confirmation e-mail will be sent once your account has been updated.
