Permanent record

The permanent record is the official educational record of the student's academic achievement and is maintained in the office of the Registrar. A transcript is a copy of this record and is issued at the request of the student to communicate academic information about the student to another institution, to an agency, or to an individual. Institutions may provide transcripts of students to those designated school officials (advisors, department chairpersons, deans, etc.) within the institution who have a legitimate educational interest in the student.

In compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, or the Buckley Amendment, faculty may not release a transcript or information from the transcript to another individual, agency, or institution without the written consent of the student.
