A transcript is a copy of a student’s permanent academic record. A transcript contains confidential information and will be released in accordance with provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Transcripts are released to students, or persons designated by the student, with signed written permission. Official transcripts are issued from the Office of the Registrar. A transcript is official if it is signed by the Registrar and imprinted with the college seal.
