Central Records

The Central Records Office (CRO) is responsible for maintaining records for former students. We provide documentation such as official and unofficial transcripts, proof of attendance, graduation verification, and education verification.

Please note: Only the former student may request their records, transcript, or verification documents. Records requests must be submitted by the former student. Requests from parents, guardians, relatives, friends, or other third parties can only be processed if accompanied by a records request authorization form signed by the student.

For Public Records Requests please see click here.
