  2. U.S college documents may be sent through the NAIA Registrar Portal or an approved third-party vendor (Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, eScrip-Safe/Credentials Solutions). If an email address is required for these services, you must use documents@naia.org. Please note: we cannot accept emailed documents or transcripts sent to ECInfo@naia.org.
