Official Transcripts

A permanent transcript for each student is maintained by the Office of the Registrar. Each student is entitled to one certified transcript of college credits without cost upon graduation (this is included with the diploma). A fee is charged for each additional transcript. The Office of the Registrar does not issue unofficial transcripts to students. Students may obtain an unofficial transcript via their WebAdvisor accounts.

No transcript of a student’s permanent record will be issued without written authorization from the student. No telephone, fax or third-party requests will be honored. Members of the faculty or administration may have access to the records if they have a legitimate interest in and demonstrate a need for the information.

College policy permits the withholding of a transcript until a student’s debts, including library and traffic fines, have been paid.
