ACADEMIC TRANSCRIPTS POLICY

The transcript policy of the College includes the following:
  1. In compliance with the Family Educational Rights Act (FERPA), the College does not release transcripts of a student’s work except upon the student’s written request.
     
  2. Official transcripts are sent to institutions, companies, agencies, etc. after the student’s written release is received by the Admissions Office. J. F. Drake State Technical College honors fax requests to send official transcripts to third parties; however transcripts will not be faxed to an individual or a receiving institution. Fax requests for transcripts must be accompanied by a picture ID before the request will be processed. 

  3. Official transcripts will be accepted when delivered “by hand”. Upon receipt, the transcript must be official and in a sealed envelope. The seal must be unbroken. The College reserves the right to deny hand delivered transcripts if foul play is suspected.
     
  4. Transcripts are available to former and currently enrolled students; these transcripts do not show the College seal, are marked ISSUED TO STUDENT, and are unofficial transcripts.

  5. Transcript requests will be processed in the order they are received. Requests should be made at least one week before the transcripts are needed.
     
  6. All transcripts issued are free. Transcripts will not be issued for persons who have financial obligations to the College.

  7. Requests for transcripts should be sent to:
    The Office of Admissions
    J. F. Drake State Technical College
